Contemp. Med. Sci. VL - 7 IS - 4 SE - Articles DO - 10.22317/jcms.v7i4.1050 UR - https://jocms.org/index.php/jcms/article/view/1050 SP - 242-246 AB - <p><strong>Objectives: </strong>The aim of this study was to assess whether is a reliable correlation between the cranial and gnathic angulations in the Iranian population.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In a cross-sectional study, 140 patients of Tehran University of Medical Sciences hospitals (70 males and 70 females with an age range of 18-60 years) were selected. Sphenoclivus (cranial base) and gnathic angles were calculated for each case. Then, the data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Statistical analysis showed a relationship between gnathic angle and female (P &lt; 0.05), but no positive relationship was seen between sphenoclivus angle and gender. There was a significant relationship between sphenoclivus angle and age among men. No significant relationship was found between the gnathic and sphenoclivus angles.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Sphenoclivus angle has the closest link with age in males. The gnathic angle has also a positive relationship with females. Our findings suggest an independent growth pattern between the sphenoclivus angle and the gnathic angle.</p> ER -
