 note = {application/pdf, Available studies about differences among races, related to prevalence of malocclusion or morphology of head and dental arches, suggest a hypothesis that the high prevalence of skeletal Class III malocclusion in Asian ancestry populations could be correlated with a tendency toward a brachycephalic head form and larger arches widths. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate anteroposterior relationship of upper and lower jaws associated to form of dental arches, maxilla, mandible, face and head. Materials in this research consisted of pretreatment lateral and posteroanterior cephalometric radiographs and orthodontic models of Japanese females with skeletal Class I and Class III. Strong correlations between head form and jaws anteroposterior relationship could not be found. However, results indicated that skeletal Class III have statistically significant smaller length of maxilla and greater length of mandible, than the skeletal Class I group. Moreover, basal arch length and width of mandible were significantly bigger in skeletal Class III group. These results suggest that skeletal Class III, at least in this sample, might be associated to local malformation factors.},
