Abstract

Objective: To assess and compare the Gonial angle from Cephalograms and Orthopantograms of patients with Class I and Class II malocclusion. Material and Method: A sample of 50 subjects having Class I and Class II malocclusion was selected from patients reporting to Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics. The pre-orthodontics treatment lateral cephalogram and orthopantomogram were used to evaluate the Gonial angle for each subject and also to compare the Gonial angle in Class I and Class II malocclusion.

Results: In the present study the mean gonial angle by lateral cephalograom was 127±7.39 and by Orthopantomogram it was 123.24 ±7.77 in Class I malocclusion. No statistically significant difference was found mean gonial angle by lateral cephalogram and orthopantomogram.
Conclusion: No statistically significant difference was observed between the gonial angle measured using lateral cephalogram and that determined using the panoramic radiographs. Further there no is statistically significant difference between gonial angle in Class I and Class II malocclusion.
