ABSTRACT:The cervical vertebra and its relation to maxilla and mandible is of particular interest to orthodontist due to their correlated developmental and anatomical relationship. The aim of the study is to evaluate and correlate the relationship between cervical vertebral morphology and cervical spine inclination with skeletal sagittal jaw relationship and growth pattern for an individual. Cephalogram of 30 subjects was divided in 3 groups based on ANB angle. All the craniofacial and craniocervical landmarks that are required to be analysed were recorded and it was concluded that class III patients had more posterior inclination of dens axis of CV2 but straighter spine inclination on subsequent arches. EVT/VER values indicated more enhanced curvature of vertical column in class II and class III patients. Morphological assessment of CV1SL & CV1HT revealed significantly less measurements in Class III that among class I and II subjects. CV2BL measurement in class II & III was significantly more than class. CV3Sl was significantly more in class III and CV3BL was significantly less in class II.
