- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess Malay population for the skeletal relationship of jaws in sagittal plane, using old (ANB, Wits appraisal) and recently introduced (Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle) cephalometric sagittal analyses. Study design: Cross sectional study of cephalometric sagittal measurements of sample from Malay population. Materials and methods: Pretreatment standardized lateral cephalometric radiographs of 246 patients were selected from Malay population which comprised of 87 males and 159 females. Patients were categorize into three skeletal Classes (class I, II and III), based on cephalometric measurements i.e. ANB, Wits appraisal, Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle, incisor's classification from casts and soft tissue profile from pictures. Descriptive analyses and t test was applied to evaluate the difference in measurements among genders. Results: Skeletal class I was the most prevalent malocclusion in Malays with the measured values in upper limits. All the measured analyses were comparable to the established norms. There was insignificant difference found in the obtained values between males and females (p > 0.05) Conclusion: Malaysian Malays have no significant sexual dimorphism in the sagittal plane craniofacial morphology.
