Abstract

Objectives:The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relation of Craniofacial reference planes of Frankfort horizontal plane (FHP) and the Sella Nasion (SN) plane to a True horizontal line (THL).
Materials & Methods:A cross sectional descriptive study using a prospective consecutive sampling technique was designed. Lateral Cephalograms of 59 patients were recorded over a period of 3 months by X-Caliber CM (Asahi Roentgen Ind. Co, Japan) in a standing mirror-guided NHP.Physically and mentally healthy patients willing to undergo orthodontic treatment, in adult dentition stage and without any syndromes were included. SPSS version 20 was used to calculate the descriptive statistics and means difference of craniofacial reference planes to the THL.
Results:The FHP and SN plane showed an angular variation of 2.34+-4.13 and 10.42+-4.70 degrees respectively, with respect to THL. The SN plane showed an anterior upward inclination of 8.08+-3.58 degrees to FHP.
Conclusion: Both FHP and SN planes showed significant variation to THL. So FHP and SN planes should be used with caution as they can mislead our diagnosis of the problem and ultimately the treatment planning.
