Description of cephalometric measurements in database1 [28].

No. Measurement Description in mathematics Description in words
1 ANB ∠L5L2L6 The angle between the landmark 5, 2, and 6
2 SNB ∠L1L2L6 The angle between the landmark 1, 2, and 6
3 SNA ∠L1L2L5 The angle between the landmark 1, 2, and 5
4 ODI L5L6L8L10¯+L17L18L4L3¯ The arithmetic sum of the angle between AB plane (L5L6¯) to mandibular plane (L8L10¯) and the angle of palatal plane (L17L18¯) to FH plane (L4L3¯)
5 APDI L3L4L2L7¯+L2L7L5L6¯+L3L4L17L18¯ The arithmetic sum of the angle between FH plane (L3L4¯) to facial plane (L2L7¯), the angle of facial plane (L2L7¯) to AB plane (L5L6¯), and the angle of FH plane (L3L4¯) to palatal plane (L17L18¯)
6 FHI L1L10¯/L2L8¯ The ratio of posterior face height (PFH, the distance from L1 to L10) to anterior face height (AFH, the distance from L2 to L8)
7 FHA L1L2L10L9¯ The angle between SN plane (L1L2¯) to mandibular plane (L10L9¯)
8 MW L12L11¯,xL12<xL11,L12L11¯,otherwise. When the x ordinate of L12 is less than L11's, the MW is L12L11¯; otherwise, MW is L12L11¯.
