Introduction: The precise measurement of anteroposterior jaw relationship is an important
step towards orthodontic diagnosis and treatment. The use of a single cephalometric parameter
is insufficient for comprehensive cephalometric diagnosis. For the concomitant use of different
parameters, the strength of correlation amongst them along with factors affecting them must be
clearly understood. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation among three
different cephalometric sagittal jaw relationship parameters in normodivergent vertical facial
types.
Material and Methods: This cross sectional study consisted of 80 pretreatment lateral
Cephalograms, that were selected irrespective of patients age and sex on the basis of
normodivergent vertical facial pattern. Cephalometric landmarks were identified and sagittal
jaw relationship for each subject, utilizing the three anteroposterior jaw relationship parameters
namely, the ANB angle, Wits value and McNamara analysis, were recorded. Level of correlation
among the three sagittal parameters were analyzed.
Results: The correlation value found between ANB angle and Wits value was 0.596, between
McNamara analysis and ANB angle was 0.462 and between McNamara analysis and Wits value
was 0.459. All the values found were statistically significant.
Conclusions: Moderate degree of correlation was found between angle ANB and Wits value
and weak degree of correlation between McNamara analysis, angle ANB and Wits value. For
appropriate clinical assessment and diagnosis of sagittal jaw relationship, it is therefore
suggested to use these analyses side by side.
