Teleradiographic indicators in young men and young women with orthognathic occlusion determined according to the Bjork method

Abstract

When comparing the cephalometric parameters used in the Bjork method, between Ukrainian young men (n=49) and young women (n=76) with orthognathic occlusion in young men, significantly (p<0.05-0.01) greater values of distances Ii-Is and Wits; and in young women – significantly (p<0.05-0.01) larger values of the angles NSL/ML and NL/ML and Pr-N-A, OLs/NL and OLf/NSL. The following differences in cephalometric parameters proposed as normative indicators for residents of European origin according to the CFT-Bjork method were established: Ukrainian young men and young women had significantly (p<0.05-0.001) higher values of S-N-A, S-N-Pog, S-N-B, CL/ML and ILs/ILi and significantly (p<0.01-0.001) smaller values of angles A-N-Pog, A-N-B, NSL/ML, NL/ML, ML/RL, OLs/NL, OLi/ML, OLf/NSL and distances Is-NSL; only in Ukrainian young men significantly (p<0.05) larger values of the angle NSL/NL; only in Ukrainian young women significantly (p<0.05) larger values of the angle Pr-N-A and significantly (p<0.01) smaller values of the distance Is-OLf.
