Overview

Retrospective study evaluates infrazygomatic crest length by skeletal class and sex, highlighting differences in measurements.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate panoramic infrazygomatic crest length and compare it across different skeletal classes and sexes.
  • Retrospective analysis of 180 digital panoramic radiographs from patients aged 16-30 years.
  • Grouped data by skeletal class I-III and sex, measuring IZC length bilaterally using ImageJ.
  • Analyzed group differences using one-way ANOVA, independent-samples t-tests, and two-way ANOVA.
  • Significant differences in panoramic IZC length across skeletal classes; highest in Class III and lowest in Class II (p < 0.001).
  • Mean IZC length: 5.81 mm in Class III females, 6.16 mm in Class III males, 4.99 mm in Class II females, and 5.51 mm in Class II males.
  • Males had significantly greater IZC values than females (p < 0.01), with a significant sex-by-class interaction (p = 0.04).
