Background: Cephalometrics can be utilized to describe, compare and classify the nature of orthodontic problems. The present study was conducted to evaluate frankfort mandibular plane angle in known population. Materials & Methods: 180 subjects age ranged 18-40 years of both genders were subjected to lateral cephalogram. Angular measurements comprised of Frankfort mandibular plane angle (FH-MP) angle, Incisor mandibular plane angle (IMPA) and Frankfort mandibular incisor angle (FMIA). Results: Out of 180 subjects, males were 95 and females were 85. The mean FMPA was 26.4 inn males and 26.1 in females, IMPA was 97.3 in males and 94.5 in females and FMIA was 56.9 in males and 59.0 in females. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The study found that frankfort mandibular plane angle was higher in males than females.
