Correlation of Clivus Length and Angle with Chronological Age, Gender, Sagittal Growth Pattern of the Jaws, and Skeletal Maturation Using Lateral Cephalometry.

Statement Of The Problem: Determination of remaining growth potential of patients is the most important factor in orthodontic treatment.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the correlation of clivus length and angle with age, gender, sagittal growth pattern of the jaws, and skeletal maturation using lateral cephalometry.

Materials And Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 390 lateral cephalograms (Vatech, paX-i3D Green, South Korea) of patients aged 6 to 25 years.
