Abstract

The orthopantomogram (OPG) is a common dental screening radiograph that has multiple implications. However, lateral cephalogram is the investigation of choice for the assessment of vertical facial pattern. Objective: The aim of the current study was to investigate the validity of an OPG parameter i.e. panoramic gonial angle (PGoA) for the assessment of the vertical facial pattern. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the pretreatment OPG and lateral cephalograms of 200 orthodontic patients aged 15-40 years. The PGoA was measured on both sides and an average was used for statistical analysis. The Pearson’s correlations of PGoA were measured with cephalometric gonial angle (CGoA), SN-GoGn, MMA, FMA, LAFH/TAFH% and PFH/TAFH%. The diagnostic test statistics were applied for PGoA against gold standard “definitive diagnosis (DD)” derived from SN GoGn and FMA. A p-value ofResults: The mean CGoA was 121.18º ± 5.16º which was significantly different (pConclusion: The current study identifies PGoA as a valid tool for the assessment of vertical facial pattern of orthodontic patients with its normal value 116º±3º in our sample.

Abstract

The success of orthodontic treatment depends upon the accurate assessment of mesiodistal widths of unerupted canines and premolars in mixed dentition stage. There are several methods available for mixed dentition analysis with dubious reliability in our population. Objective: To statistically develop new prediction equations for Pakistani subjects to predict the widths of unerupted upper canines and premolars (U345) and lower canine and premolars (L345) using mesiodistal widths of lower incisors (I1I2) and lower incisors and first molars (I1I2M1) and compare their performance with previously established methods of Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston. Methods: Study was conducted using the data from the dental casts of 200 Pakistani subjects with permanent teeth. Linear regression analysis was used to develop general and gender specific equations for estimation of U345 and L345 using the combined mesiodistal width I1I2 and I1I2M1. The actual and estimated sum of of U345 and L345 as determined by Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston and those from prediction equations based on I1I2 and I1I2M1 were compared using the paired sample t-test. Results: There were signficant differences in the actual mesiodistal widths of U345 and L345 and those calculated using Tanaka-Johnston and Moyers methods. Newly developed equations based on I1I2 and I1I2M1 performed better than the Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston methods in both the arches. Conclusion: Moyers and Tanaka-Johnston analyses generally overestimated U345 and L345 dimensions. The newly developed prediction equations based on I1I2 and I1I2M1 performed better for the prediction of mesiodistal widths of U345 and L345.
