Can Gonial Measurements Predict Gender? A Prospective Analysis Using Digital Panoramic Radiographs
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Results: The mean GI was significantly higher in males (1.56 ± 0.31 mm) when compared to females (1.42 ± 0.34 mm). Hence the present sample was subjected to discriminant analysis with gender as a grouping variable, GI and GA as independent variables. Based on Wilk’s lambda values Gonial index (GI) was observed to provide better sex determination when compared to Gonial angle (GA). Hence 2 different discriminant equations were obtained, one using GI alone and another one using both GI and GA.

Dilemma of gonial angle measurement: Panoramic radiograph or lateral cephalogram
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of panoramic imaging in measuring the right and left gonial angles by comparing the measured angles with the angles determined using a lateral cephalogram of adult patients with class I malocclusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The gonial angles of 50 class I malocclusion patients (25 males and 25 females; mean age: 23 years) were measu...
متن کاملAssessment of the Relation of Mandibular Cortical Index and Gonial Angle Size in an Adult Iranian Population Using Digital Panoramic Radiography
Objectives: This study sought to assess the relation of mandibular cortical index (MCI) with age, gender and gonial angle size in an Iranian adult population using digital panoramic radiography. Methods: We evaluated 370 digital panoramic radiographs of patients and divided them into five 10-year age groups. Each radiograph was assigned to low (≤120°) or high (≥125°) angle grou...
متن کاملAge and gender correlation of gonial angle, ramus height and bigonial width in dentate subjects in a dental school in Far North Queensland
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine if mandibular parameters (gonial angle, bigonial width and ramus height) measured from panoramic radiographs, can be used to determine a correlation with an individual's age and gender in dentate subjects in Far North Queensland. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study utilised 2699 randomly selected panoramic radiographs of patients between the ages of 19-69 y...
متن کاملAgreement Between Panoramic and Lateral Cephalometric Radiographs for Measuring the Gonial Angle
BACKGROUND The gonial angle is one of the most important measurements required for orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. It is difficult to determine the accurate measurement of each gonial angle on cephalometric radiographs because of superimposition of the left and right angles. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to determine the right and left gonial angles on panoramic ...
متن کاملCorrelation between Mandibular Radiomorphometric Parameters and Gonial Angle size in Iranian Adults
Introdouction: The purpose of the present study was to determine the possible relationship between gonial angle size and three mandibular morphometric parameters, namely, panoramic mandibular index (PMI), mandibular cortical width (MCW), and antegonial notch depth (AD), in digital panoramic radiographs. Materials and methods: PMI, MCW, and AD were calculated in digital panoramic radiographs of...
