Ans. (A)

Sassouni Analysis- The Sassouni Analysis was first cephalometric method to emphasize vertical as well as horizontal relationships and the interactions between vertical and horizontal proportions. Sassouni pointed out that the horizontal anatomic planes- the inclination of anterior cranial base, Frankfort plane, palatal plane, occlusal plane, and mandibular plane- tends to converge toward a single point in a well proportioned faces. The inclination of these planes to each other reflects the vertical proportionality of face. Sassouni Analysis. Although the total arch analysis described by Sassouni is no longer widely used. his analysis of vertical facial proportions has become the integral part of overall analysis of a patient
