Abstract
It is of interest to establish the cephalometric correlation of
angular data between frankfort horizontal and the sella-nasion line
in different
sagittal skeletal bases. Beta angle was used to divide the sample
based on their sagittal skeletal base relationship. The FH-SN angle
was
measured for each group. The data were tabulated into IBM SPSS
software. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk test was done to test
the normal distribution of the data. One-way ANOVA analysis was done
to test the difference of the FH-SN angle among the groups.
Independent samples t-Test was done to test for gender dimorphism.
The mean FH-SN angle of the sample was 6.33°3.35°. The results of
the One-Way ANOVA and independent samples t-Test were insignificant.
Results show that is no statistically significant difference in FHSN
angle between skeletal class I, II and III.The mean FH-SN angle of
the sample was 6.33°3.35°. The distribution of the data was normal.
The results of the One-Way ANOVA and Independent samples t-Test were
insignificant. There was no statistically significant difference in
FH-SN angle between skeletal class I, II and III.
