Three-dimensional measurement of the coronoid process and structural consistency analysis in patients with long-face morphology.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the morphological characteristics of the coronoid process (CP) and condyle in patients with long-face morphology (LF) and evaluate their correlations, aiming to identify potential morphological predictors for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study analyzed cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data from 68 LF patients and 69 control subjects. Nineteen parameters of the CP and condyle were evaluated in three dimensions, encompassing length, angle, curvature, and volume. Statistical analyses included chi-square and t-tests for group comparisons. Stepwise binary logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were implemented to identify and validate independent
