Three-dimensional cephalometric evaluation of the craniofacial morphology in Korean population utilizing cone-beam computed tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Advancements in three-dimensional (3D) imaging technology have enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of clinical orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This study aimed to evaluate craniofacial morphology in a Korean population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods

CBCT images from 120 individuals (60 males and 60 females) were grouped into skeletal Classes I, II, and III types with normodivergence according to the ANB and sella-nasion plane to mandibular plane angles. Measurements of hard and soft tissues were performed in terms of sagittal, vertical, and transverse relationships, including asymmetry analysis and condylar position. The measurements were compared across different skeletal types including between males and females.
