The epidemiological situation regarding the most common pathologies of the dental-jaw system, namely orthodontic pathologies (occlusion, size and position of teeth, their absence, etc.) is still tense – their prevalence is increasing, as evidenced by dental examinations of children in different countries. Thus, in the Kozhikode region (India) the prevalence of malocclusion among persons aged 10-12 years was 83.3%, of which 69.8% had an occlusion of class I, 8.9% – class II, 4.1% – class III, 0.4% – reverse bite, 35.6% – increased bite, 0.29% – open bite, 7.2% – cross bite [1]. For adequate prognosis and planning of odon-tological treatment, doctors have been using the cephalometric method of lateral teleradiography for many years, which has also proven itself in other fields of medicine [2]. However, data from domestic works indicate that for adequate application of any of the cepha-lometric methods of analysis, it is necessary to pre-adapt the data on a particular method for the local population, taking into account gender, age, regional affiliation [3, 4] and face type. [5].The aim of the study was to establish the fea-tures and sex differences of cephalometric parame-ters according to the Steiner method in Ukrainian young men and young women with orthognathic occlusion and different face types.
