•A true vertical line dropped from N and
horizontal distance parallel to this true
vertical line is measured from A- Point.
•This measurement describes the position
of apical base of Maxilla in relation to
Nasion.
N Perpendicular to A-Point
is the most anterior measure point of the mandibular apical base.
•This angle expresses the A-P position of the mandible relative to the cranial base using B-point as a cephalometric landmark.

, measures the degree of protrusion and retrusion of the chin but uses Frankfort Horizontal as a reference plane.
• It also indicates the horizontal position of the mandible relative to the cranial base.
- Note: Using all three angles and both reference planes, the clinician can make a good evaluation of the position of the mandible and determine whether the mandible is normal, protrusive or retrognathic.
- In addition, the prominence of the chin may also be determined.
- It is possible to have a retrognathic mandible but prominent chin.
