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.
