A roentgenocephalometric study on the cranionfacial depth and height by Coben's method

• Yoo NS

Abstract

This study was undertaken to establish the cephalometric standards, using lateral cephalometric roentgenograms of 48 male and 53 female Korean adults with normal occlusion and acceptable profile. By Cohen's method, measurement of depth was taken parallel to the FH plane and expressed as a percentage of the cranial base depth (BA-N). And vertical height was measured along the line perpendicular to the FH plane and expressed as a percentage of the anterior face height (N-M). The following conclusions were obtained: 1) Means and standard deviations of craniofacial proportions of Korean adults were tabulated. 2) Cranial babe depth of male was greater than that of female. 3) The proportionate depth of the middle face was greater in female than in male. 4) The proportionate total anterior face height was greater in male than in female. And it was greater in Korean than in the white.
