Abstract

Aim and Objective: To evaluate and compare the skeleto-facial morphological parameters in sagittal plane of Centro graphic analysis with conventional cephalometric analysis in different malocclusion groups
Materials and Methods: A total of 196 patients (115 females & 81 males, age 17-26 years) who visited the OPD of department of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics for Orthodontic treatment were selected according to the selection criteria for the present study. The study was done on pretreatment lateral cephalograph in occlusion of the selected subjects. Each lateral cephalograph was manually traced on lead acetate paper on an X-ray viewer. The tracing was analysed separately with conventional cephalometric method and with centrographic analysis to assess sagittal and soft tissue characteristics.
Result: Total sample when grouped sagittaly into three groups i.e skeletal class I, II & III groups on the basis of both Cephalometric and Centrographic analysis and comparison showed statistically significant results (P=0.000)When anteroposterior position of maxilla in total sample was compared using SNA angle & Upper centroid position, showed statistically insignificant results (P>0.701) and anteroposterior position of mandible in total sample was compared using SNB angle & Lower centroid position, showed statistically insignificant results (P>0.139). When the relationship between maxilla and mandible in total sample was evaluated using angle ANB and Wits appraisal with centrographic analysis, showed statistically significant results (P< 0 P=0.000).When P=0.000).When xss=removed> Conclusion: Both cephalometric and centrographic methods compared in sagittal plane can be interchangeably used for SNA, SNB and ANB for female samples but, they cannot be used interchangeably for ANB in total sample, Wits and beta angle. Both cephalometric and centrographic methods for upper lip & lower lip position assessed in relation to S line and E line cannot be used interchangeably.
