    The purpose of this research is to establish the association between the magnitude of the antegonial curvature and the facial proportion to establish standard characteristics for a group of patients. Materials and Methods: 131 cephalometric radiographs of patients aged 8 to 15 of both sexes attending a private clinic were evaluated. All radiographs were traced with anatomical drawings on acetate paper, outlining the facial proportion according to Björk for evaluating the facial biotype and a tangent to the mandibular border to assess the depth of the antegonial curvature. These were then validated using the Spearman-Brown test with a 95% confidence level. Results: A positive correlation was found between the magnitude of the antegonial curvature and the facial proportion (p˂0.05), showing a downward inclination (rho=0.003). Conclusion: The evidence presented demonstrates that the evaluation allows identifying the association of the antegonial curvature depth with the facial proportion, showing a direct relationship.
