- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the Malay and Malaysian Chinese populations for commonly used and newly introduced sagittal cephalometric analyses. Study design: Cross sectional study of cephalometric sagittal analyses of Malay population and Chinese population residing in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: 246 pretreatment standardized lateral cephalogram were selected from Malay population and 96 patients from Malaysian Chinese population. Radiographs were traced for ANB, Wits appraisal, Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle. Patients were classified into skeletal Class I, II and III categories, based on performed analyses, profile from records and incisor's classification. ANOVA was applied to assess the difference in measured values for skeletal classes and independent-t test was used to compare both the samples. Results: There was significant difference in all the measured values for skeletal groups in both the samples (p < 0.001). Mean values of ANB for class II and Wits appraisal for class III patients were significantly different among both the samples (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in all other measurements. Conclusions: All the performed analyses were significant in diagnosis of sagittal discrepancies. Malays and Malaysian Chinese populations are insignificantly different in cephalometric norms.
