Abstract

Cervico-chin distance is used to assess the length and position of the mandible. Skeletal disorders are aesthetically and functionally detrimental to patients. The objectives were to describe and predict patients' cervicomandibular distance. A cross-sectional descriptive study of 45 children aged 6 to 12 years was carried out without distinction of gender, in the city of Mahajanga, from March to December 2018. Cervico-chin distance measurement was obtained by the equivalent width of three finger crossings. Among the 45 patients, we observed that cervico-facial distance was normal in 24.4%; decreased for the 40% and increased in the 35.5% of patients. Dento-skeletal and functional disorders were significant.
