Table 1.

The definition of each anthropometric measurement. The linear distances of each anthropometric point measured on the vertical, sagittal, and transverse planes

Variables Definition
Vertical measurement
 Ramus height I Distance between the condylion and gnathion
 Ramus height II Distance between the coronoid notch and gnathion
 Ramus height III Distance between the coronoid notch and antegonial notch
 Corpus height Distance between the mandibular alveolar point and menton
 Mandibular molar height Distance between the mesiobuccal cusp of the mandibular first molar and menton
Sagittal measurement
 Mandibular plane angle I Angle between the line connecting the condylion and gnathion and the line connecting the gnathion and menton
 Mandibular plane angle II Angle between the line connecting the gonion and gnathion and the line connecting the gnathion and menton
 Total mandibular length Distance between the condylion and infradentale
 Corpus length Distance between the gonion and infradentale
Transverse measurement
 Zygomatic arch width Distance between the bilateral zygions
 Maxillary molar width Distance between the bilateral mesiobuccal cusps of the maxillary first molars
 Mandibular molar width Distance between the bilateral mesiobuccal cusps of the mandibular first molars
 Bicondylior mandibular width Distance between the bilateral condylions
 Bigonial mandibular width Distance between the bilateral gonions
 Dental midline discrepancy Distance between the lower incisor midline and the upper incisor midline
