Abstract

Introduction

Facial and radiographic records in orthodontics are based on the profile. Aim of this study is to establish norms from digital posteroanterior (PA) cephalograms for Indian adults.

Materials and methods

The subjects included 45 Indian men and 55 Indian women, mean age 25 to 30 years. Subjects had ideal occlusion and a well-balanced face. About 12 linear measurements were determined using digital radiograph.

Results

There was statistically significant difference between male and female samples. Comparison between the Indian men and women indicated larger measurements for men.

Conclusion

According to these results new PA clinical norms are presented to Indian orthodontists for diagnosis and planning.
