Estimation of the gonial angle from the orthopantomogram
Summary
Orthopantomograms effectively measure gonial angles for orthodontic assessment. Most Angle Class III patients show pre-treatment asymmetry, with significant improvement after treatment, indicating orthopantomograms aid in evaluating treatment outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Radiology
Background:
- Gonial angle measurement is crucial in orthodontics for assessing facial growth and skeletal relationships.
- Orthopantomograms (OPGs) are widely used for dental imaging, but their accuracy in gonial angle measurement requires validation.
