Comparison of palatal bone height in different facial morphological patterns by cone beam computed tomography
Barbosa, Gabriella Lopes de Rezende; Ramirez-Sotelo, Laura Ricardina; Alencar, Phillipe Nogueira Barbosa & de Almeida, Solange Maria
Abstract
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between palatal bone height and facial types using cone beam
computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methods: The study sample consisted of 110 CBCT
images. Subjects aged 18 to 35 years old were classified as brachyfacial, mesofacial and
dolichofacial, according to SN.GoGn angle, measured in cephalometric analysis with Nemotec
3D software. Three observers evaluated the bone height of the palate in the anterior region, at
the level of the maxillary first premolars. The measurements were performed in sagittal and
coronal views, in median and paramedian regions of the palate, also using Nemotec 3D software.
Measurements were repeated after 15 days on 25% of the sample to analyse intra and
interobserver agreements by CCI test. Analysis of variance was performed to calculate statistical
differences between the bone heights of the three facial types, with a significance level of 5%.
Results: The correlation level of intra-observer agreement was excellent. No significant differences
were observed between the palatal bone height in the region of first premolars and the different
facial types (p>0.05). Conclusions: Based on CBCT evaluations, there is no association
between palatal bone height and facial morphological patterns.
