A Comparative Study Of Real Values Of Linear And Angular Measurements Of Craniofacial complex in Patients With Different Kinds Of Malocclusion Using CBCT Method


Abstract in English

This study was carried out aiming to investigate the accuracy of measurements , differences in linear and angular measurements of the craniofacial complex using both the two and three dimensional method of measuring in patients with different kinds of malocclusion ; and also to compare each kind of malocclusion to the others. The sample of the study consisted of 40 patients , divided into three groups – a group for each skeletal malocclusion , Cone Bean Computed Tomography (CBCT) was performed for each patient , then two dimensional radiographs were derived from the CBCT ; after performing the measuring , collecting the results and analyzing them statistically.
