Sumario:Cephalometric diagnostic methods allow for the identification of mandibular growth potential, aiding in theestablishment of a more accurate diagnosis and theselection of a more appropriate treatment plan. Theobjective of the study was to examine the relationshipbetween auxological category, rotational group, andtype of rotational growth, considering age and sex. Across-sectional observational study was conducted on300 profile radiographs donated by three radiologicalcenters in Quito, Ecuador. The cephalometric analysis,based on Petrovic's methodology, identified the auxologicalcategory, type of rotation, and mandibular development.View Box 4 software was used to measure and record relevant angles and planes, with data processed in Excel and SPSS. A descriptive analysis determined theprevalence of mandibular rotational groups, while thechi-square test was used to examine the relationship between the type of mandibular rotation and the auxological category according to age and sex. The facial type with posterior mandibular growth direction was themost prevalent at 20%. Regarding the auxological categories, category 2 was the most predominant at 19.3%.The study found significant differences in auxologicalcategories by sex and age, but no significant differenceswith the type of rotation. The analysis of craniofacialgrowth and development based on bone maturation canbe crucial for designing personalized treatments tailoredto the unique characteristics of each individual.
