A Treatment Module in Orthodontics: Cephalometric Polygon Norms as a Guide towards a Harmonious Individual Craniofacial Pattern among Keralites
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of the study was to identify a polygon with limited number of cephalometric parameters in region near to teeth; to find values for linear, angular and area measurements for the polygon in the ideal, Class II and III groups and to define correlations and male female differences observed in the study variables. In this crosssectional study, cephalograms of young adults satisfying the inclusion criteria, were evaluated for the specific parameters. Linear, angular and area measures of polygons in the ideal, Class II and Class III malocclusions were measured from tracings of cephalograms and statistically analysed. Mean±SD of the angular, linear and area measurements for the different study groups, and the Correlations observed between the angular, linear and area measurements in the different study groups; The mean ±SD of the angular, linear and area measurements for males and females in the different study groups; and the Norms for the ideal polygon is identified in the results. A polygon with a limited number of cephalometric parameters was successfully identified; the mean values, correlations and male female differences observed in measurements for the ideal, class II and Class III malocclusions groups are defined.
