Relationship between cranial base and jaw base in different skeletal patterns

ConclusionThe cranial base angle affects the anteroposterior orientation of both maxilla and mandible with a minimal contribution to the appearance of different vertical skeletal patterns. Meanwhile, the cranial base length affects minimally the anteroposterior orientation of both the maxilla and the mandible. However, a significant link was found between it and the total facial height, thus contributing to the appearance of different vertical skeletal patterns.
