ANB angle

ANB an·gle

(ang'gĕl)
Cephalometric area, formed by A point, nasion, and B point, which describes (i.e., informs) the anteroposterior relationship of the mandible to the maxilla.

An analysis of the variation of the ANB angle: a statistical appraisal.
EVALUATION OF INCISORS INCLINATION IN FIVE CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS METHODS
Skeletal bi-max- illary protrusion or prognathic jaws is usually associ- ated with increased skeletal lower facial height, accen- tuated ANB angle, short posterior cranial base, ante- rior positioned glenoid fossa and divergent facial planes.2
LOWER FACIAL HEIGHT TREATMENT CHANGES IN BI-MAXILLARY PROTRUSION ORTHODONTIC CASES
Cephalometric analysis of distracted mandible revealed decreased ANB angle, decreased overjet and increased mandibular body and ramus length.6 In this study on an average for all the cases it was observed ANB angle, overjet decreased mandibular body and ramus length was increased as per cephalometric analysis.

Lateral Cephalogram was then traced and sagital pattern of the patient was established from ANB angle (ANB>40)13,14 and or wits value (1.5 mm).

Evaluation of the nasolabial angle of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa sample
Skeletal bi-maxillary protrusion or prognathic jaws is usually associated with prominent everted lips, convex facial profile, accentuated ANB angle, short posterior cranial base, anterior positioned glenoid fossa and divergent facial planes.2
SOFT TISSUE CHANGES WITH RETRACTION IN BI-MAXILLARY PROTRUSION ORTHODONTIC CASES
Skeletal type was determined based upon the ANB angle and Wits, which indicates the positional relationship of the maxilla and mandible.
COMPARISON OF LIP THICKNESS AMONG DIFFERENT SKELETAL MALOCCLUSION CLASSES
All the participants were divided in Class I or Class II skeletal patterns, according to the ANB angle and WITS appraisal.
EVALUATION OF MANDIBULAR LENGTH IN SUBJECTS WITH CLASS I AND CLASS II SKELETAL PATTERNS USING THE CERVICAL VERTEBRAE MATURATION
Similar results were found in a study by Jabbar et al3 they observed weak correlation between OJ and ANB angle in all three malocclusion groups but found that it is statistically significant only in class III malocclusion.3
OVERJET AS A PREDICTOR OF SAGITTAL SKELETAL RELATIONSHIPS
The lateral cephalometric films of all patients were traced and the anterior-posterior skeletal relationship of the maxilla and mandible was classified as skeletal Class I (ANB angle between 0 and 4), Class II (ANB angle 5 or more), and Class III (ANB angle less than 0) using the measurements of the Witz and ANB angle.
PATTERNS OF THIRD-MOLAR AGENESIS IN AN ORTHODONTIC PATIENT POPULATION WITH DIFFERENT SKELETAL MALOCCLUSIONS
The skeletal discrepancy between maxilla and mandible improved as reflected by the improved ANB angle (Table 1).
NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT OF SKELETAL CLASS II HIGH ANGLE MALOCCLUSION A CASE REPORT
The study performed by Forster CM, Sunga E, Chung CH5 included only skeletal Class I (as determined by ANB angle) subjects, contrary to our study which included all malocclusion groups.
