Abstract

Introduction: The maxillomandibular relationship can be determined by radiographs, the study models in orthodontics help us to have an approximate idea between jaws but do not clarify what is the maximum determinant of the skeletal class Objetive : the prevalence of skeletal classes and the parameters they determine in order to provide greater knowledge about the components of skeletal classes and thus be able to make a better diagnosis and treatment plan. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, retrospective, crosssectional study was carried out on radiological imaging samples of 103 children aged 6 to 11, selected from the archives of the clinic of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil in the A2019 semester, in the What are the cephalometric traces of Ricketts and Steiner to determine the skeletal class and the facial biotope. Results: The most prevalent skeletal class was class II, followed by class I. The maximum director affected in class II was the jaw and in class I predominantly the bases in balance. The most prevalent facial biotype was the dolicofacial and the least prevalent mesofacial. The prevalence of class II was the same in both sexes. Conclusion: Class II was the most prevalent, affecting both genders equally, the most prevalent biotipofacial was the dolichofacial. Class II prevalence was found in study groups that had samples with age ranges between 6-12 years.
