TI  - An Assessment of Gender Difference in Visual Cephalometric Analysis Applied to Class I Individuals: A Preliminary Study
AB  - Cephalometric analyzes play an important role in determining the individual's skeletal and dental structure, soft tissue and theirrelationship to each other. Visual cephalometric analyzes are primarily based on determining the fitness between mid-face andmaxilla, then positioning the mandible relative to the midface. Thus, as in the other cephalometric analyzes, changes related to thetreatment and development of the current state of the individual are determined. In the study we aimed to reveal sex-related changesof four different angles and compare them with the norm.This study was performed on right lateral cephalometric views of 80 healthy (40 women, 40 men) Turkish individuals in Anatoliaaged 21-71, with Class I skeletal (ANB=2.19±1.43). In all images, angles formed by long axis of the upper incisor and palatal plan(U1/PP); the long axis of the lower incisor and mandibular plan (A1/MP); the long axes of the lower and incisor (U1/A1); the palatalplan and mandibular plan (PP/MP) were analyzed.The PP/MP value of women was found to be significantly higher than men’s (p<0.01), while no significant difference was foundbetween the U1/PP, A1/MP and U1/A1. Statistically significant negative correlations were found between correlations of all angularmeasurements in both genders (p<0.05).As a result, gender should also be considered as another factor beside the knowledge of angles of U1/PP, A1/MP, U1/A1 andPP/MP in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Our work continues by increasing the number of data.
