- Abstract
Objectives: The objective of the study was the skeletal assessment of the Malaysian Chinese population in sagittal plane by commonly used (ANB, Wits appraisal) and newly introduced (Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle) cephalometric analyses. Study design: It was a cross sectional study of cephalometric sagittal analyses of Malaysian Chinese sample. Materials and Methods: Pretreatment lateral cephalograms of 96 (45 males and 51 females) Malaysian Chinese patients were selected for the study. Radiographs were traced for ANB, Wits appraisal, Beta angle, W angle and Yen angle. Based on cephalometric analyses, incisor's classification from casts and soft tissue profile; patients were classified into skeletal Class I, II and III. SPSS was used for descriptive analyses of data and t test was applied to evaluate the difference in measured values between males and females. Results: Skeletal class II was the most prevalent malocclusion in Malaysian Chinese. Skeletal class I patients also showed measurements with the tendency towards class II. 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 ANB and Yen angle for class II patients (p < 0.05) Conclusion: Malaysian Chinese have Class II craniofacial morphology with no significant sexual dimorphism.
