Correlation between McNamara cephalometric analysis values and craniomaxillary linear parameters in Chongqing adolescents with normal occlusion / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish the normal value of McNamara cephalometric analysis in Chongqing adolescents with normal occlusion and to obtain its regression models. Methods:Fifty five Chongqing adolescents with normal occlusion (male 27 and female 28)were taken lateral cephalograms. McNamara analysis was conducted and the correlation analysis was carried out.Results: There were significant differences in the normal values of McNamara analysis between male and female Chongqing adolescents, namely the effective maxillary length, effective mandibular length, lower anterior facial height and A Np line. There were no significant differences in Pog Np line, upper incisor to point A vertical,lower incisor to A P line.There were correlations between the effective maxillary length and effective mandibular length, effective mandibular length and lower anterior facial height, A Np line and Pog Np line, respectively.When effective mandibular length was fixed,lower anterior facial height and Pog Np line was correlated.The regression models were obtained.Conclusion:There is correlation between the linear measurements of the cephalometrics values.
