Craniofacial angles, surface areas and volumes may be quantified along with linear distances.
To determine the craniofacial morphology, the Angle Classification and the overjet were considered.
The posture parameters involved in the measurements were: UTI, KA, LA and PI. in order to determine the craniofacial morphology, the Angle Classification and the overjet were considered.
The present study indicates that in a high-angle craniofacial pattern, the bone in the mandibular midline is high and narrow, whereas in the low-angle morphology, the bone is shorter and wider.
Craniofacial defects were determined by measurement of the ceratohyal angle at 5 dpf.
A significant linear correlation was found between the reduction in apnea index and specific craniofacial skeletal structures (length of anterior cranial base, mandibular plane angle, and upper to lower facial height ratios, P <.05).
Gonial angle though is an important parameter of the craniofacial complex giving an indication about the vertical parameters and symmetry of the facial skeleton.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and hypopharyngeal airway spaces variations according to the craniofacial growth pattern, by comparing brachyfacial, mesofacial, and dolichofacial in Angle Class I individuals.
Even though 3D CT needs high-dose radiation and expensive cost, it can allow us to observe the craniofacial structure at the various perspectives and to analyze 3D length and angle more precisely than two-dimensional cephalometric radiography does [18, 19].
The 3D imaging technology for craniofacial deformity is developing rapidly up to the level, which can measure the length and angle for anatomic structure at the complex craniofacial region, make a 3D simulational operation, and predict the outcome after the simulational surgery [17 19].
