چکیده

The external gonial angle is an important angle of the craniofacial complex. It is significant for the diagnosis of craniofacial disorders. Lateral cephalogram and orthopantomograms can be used to determine this angle. In this study, we compared the external gonial angle determined from the two mentioned radiographs in Class I patients. We collected the radiographs of 70 patients with Angle's Class I (22 men and 48 women). The patients' age ranged from 15-30 years with a mean age of 18.24 years. The data gained were statistically evaluated by t-test. The following results were obtained. The mean value of the gonial angle in the lateral cephalogram was 125.00 degrees (men, 124.9 degrees and women, 125.04 degrees ) and in the orthopantomogram was 124.17 degrees (men 123.68 degrees , women 124.39 degrees ). The difference between these rates was 0.83 degrees (men 1.22 degrees , women 0.64 degrees ) and not significant (P = 0.406). Based on the obtained results, we can conclude that panoramic radiography can be used to determine the gonial angle as accurately as a lateral cephalogram. In addition, we can determine the right and left gonial angles of a patient in the orthopantomogram without interferences due to superimposed images of anatomical structures in a lateral cephalogram. For determination of the gonial angle, an orthopantomogram may be a better choice than a lateral cephalogram.

Background & Aims: One of the most important issues in training, diagnosis, and treatment in orthodontics is a thorough understanding of patient’s growth pattern. Imbalances in this pattern can cause malocclusion which is one of the most important causes of referring patients for treatment. At the first step, dentist’s responsibility is the diagnosis and monitoring of the growth pat...

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...
