The aims of this study were (1) to establish cephalometric norms from submentovertex (SMV) radiographs for young Anatolian Turkish adults and (2) to identify possible sex differences between men and women.
SMV cephalograms were taken of 50 nongrowing Turkish adults (25 men, mean age, 23.06 +/- 2.30 years; 25 women, mean age, 22.10 +/- 2.04 years). All had normal occlusions and well-balanced faces. Five angular and 10 linear measurements were made on each radiograph. For each variable, arithmetic mean and standard deviation minimum and maximum values were calculated. Independent-sample t tests were performed for the sex comparisons. Cephalometric angular and linear norms for Turkish adults were determined by using the Lew-Tay SMV cephalometric analysis. SMV cephalometric standards for Turkish adults were also developed.
Generally, our measurements were similar to the Lew-Tay SMV norms. Most Turkish SMV cephalometric measurements showed statistically significant sex differences. Comparison between Turkish men and women indicated larger measurements for men in all investigated linear measurements.
SMV cephalometric norms are useful in the diagnosis of mandibular asymmetries and the treatment of dentofacial orthopedics in Turkish patients.
本研究的目的是:(1)建立年轻安纳托利亚土耳其成年人颏顶位(SMV)X线片的头影测量标准;(2)确定男性和女性之间可能存在的性别差异。
对50名恒牙列期土耳其成年人(25名男性,平均年龄23.06±2.30岁;25名女性,平均年龄22.10±2.04岁)拍摄颏顶位头影测量X线片。所有受试者均咬合正常且面部比例协调。对每张X线片进行5项角度测量和10项线性测量。计算每个变量的算术平均值、标准差、最小值和最大值。进行独立样本t检验以比较性别差异。采用Lew-Tay颏顶位头影测量分析法确定土耳其成年人的头影测量角度和线性标准。同时制定了土耳其成年人的颏顶位头影测量标准。
总体而言,我们的测量结果与Lew-Tay颏顶位标准相似。大多数土耳其颏顶位头影测量结果显示出统计学上的显著性别差异。土耳其男性和女性的比较表明,在所有研究的线性测量中男性的测量值更大。
颏顶位头影测量标准有助于土耳其患者下颌不对称的诊断和牙颌面正畸治疗。
