Resumen

Introduction. Class II malocclusion is an abnormality in which the upper teeth may overlap the lower teeth, creating a deep bite.

Objective. To determine the presence of Class II malocclusion in relation to body position.

Methodology. This study was conducted using Krogh-Paulsen test and Bibby, Re and Preston, CB techniques. Body position was determined using and panoramic cranial radiographs. A sample size of 38 patients was selected, aged between 18 to 30 years old, with a standard error of = 0.032 and a confidence level of 99.96%. Images were analyzed by means of fractal dimensioning, fast Fourier transform, texture isotropy and power spectrum density analysis using a Mountains Lab Premium 8.0 surface analysis software.

Results. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the used method, the behavior of skeletal Class II malocclusion, and body posture. Moreover, the skull base relative to the vertical had a frequency of 94.70%. It could also be observed that there is an alteration of the shoulders and foot of 63.20 and 78.90% of cases, respectively, as well as facial asymmetry of 18.40% percentage. Furthermore, results show the isotropic origin of the stomatognathic system.

Conclusions. These analyses represent an alternative for developing new protocols for the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular disorders, making preventive and corrective management more effective.
