| ABSTRACTBackground: The skeleto-dental components of Kurdish adults with class II/1, class II/2 and class III malocclusion wereinvestigated and compared to those of Kurdish adults with normal class I occlusion using lateral cephalometricradiographs.Materials and methods: The sample included 160 patients from Sulaimani city, 80 females and 80 males, divided intoclass I, classII/1, class II/2 and class III groups according to specific criteria.Results: There were no significant genders differences for skeleto-dental angular measurements in normal class I andeach of class II/1, class II/2 and class III malocclusion groups, but Kurdish males possessed significantly greater skeletallinear dimensions compared to Kurdish females. The cranial base angles, N-S-Ar and N-S-Ba, were significantlyincreased in class II/1 and class II /2 patients and were decreased in class III patients. The anterior cranial base lengthdecreased only in class III malocclusion but the posterior cranial base lengths,S-Ar and S-Ba,were significantlyincreased in class II/1 and class II/2 and decreased in class III patients.Conclusion: A relationship existed between cranial base angle, malocclusion type and facial features.Key words: Cranial base angle, lateral cephalometric, malocclusion.
