- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study is the skeletal sagittal assessment of the Bangladeshi population by commonly used (ANB, Wits appraisal) and newly introduced (Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle) sagittal cephalometric analyses. Study design: It is a cross sectional study of cephalometric sagittal analyses of Bangladeshi sample. Materials and Methods: Pretreatment lateral cephalograms of 200 (100 males and 100 females) Bangladeshi patients were selected for the study. Radiographs were traced for ANB, Wits appraisal, Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle. Patients were classified into skeletal Class I, II and III on the basis of cephalometric analyses, incisor's classification from casts and soft tissue profile. SPSS was used for descriptive analyses of data and t test was applied to evaluate the sexual dimorphism for measured values. Results: Most of the measured analyses were comparable to the established norms. There was insignificant difference found in the obtained values between males and females except W angle for class I patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Bangladeshi norms for Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle were established. All the performed measurements were comparable to the established norms. No significant sexual dimorphism was found in this study.
