Diagnostic Significance of Glenoid Fossa Position: A Cephalometric Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12
Abstract
Background: Diagnostic importance of glenoid fossa needs to be realized. A malocclusion can present itself with various features and a proper treatment demands an accurate diagnosis. Variability in location of glenoid fossa can play an important role in various malocclusions, hence keeping this thing in mind this study was aimed at finding whether a relation exists between glenoid fossa position and malocclusion in a saggital direction. Materials and methods: Cephalograms of 90 subjects were assessed manually and various parameters describing the location of glenoid fossa were assessed. These parameters were statistically assessed with different malocclusion groups and it was ascertained whether a relation exists between the two or not.Besides maxillary and mandibular position in a saggital direction were assessed separately with glenoid fossa position. Results: No significant difference was observed in glenoid fossa position in various malocclusion groups. Mandibular position did varysignificantly with a unit change in glenoid fossa position when assessed separately. Conclusion: Although the relation between glenoid fossa position and malocclusion was not found to be significant in this study, but role of glenoid fossa in orthodontic diagnosis cannot be undermined. Determining whether a malocclusion is due to variability in jaw size or due to difference in position of glenoid fossa aims at employing proper treatment mechanics and thereby much predictable and stable results
