dAnt distance from the most anterior point of the inferior alveolar nerve from MF_V. If there is no anterior curvature, dAnt is defined as “0”, dInf distance from the most inferior point of the inferior alveolar nerve from MF_H, dRamus distance from the sigmoid notch to the gonion, dBody distance from the gonion to the MF point, dSymphysis distance from the MF point to the pogonion, Co Pearson’s correlation coefficiency
