Abstract
Objectives: The objectives of the study are to compare and assess the precision of MKG angle with ANB, Wits’ appraisal, Yen, Pi, and W angles and reproducibility between them. Material and Methods: 160 pre-treatment cephalograms of 80 skeletal class I and 80 skeletal class II patients were selected from the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and were divided into Group 1 and Group 2. MKG angle, ANB angle, Wits’ appraisal, W, Yen, and Pi angles were measured, and MKG angle was compared with each of them for the evaluation of its precision. Results: The statistical analysis was done using SPSS software version 26.0. The mean, standard deviation, t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were calculated. Descriptive statistics were done to know the mean and standard deviation. The Pearson correlation coefficient was done to know the correlation between the MKG angle and other parameters in both the groups. A statistically significant difference was observed between MKG angle and all other parameters – ANB, Wits’ appraisal, YEN, W, Pi angles in general population. Conclusion: MKG angle can be used to assess the anteroposterior discrepancy but as an adjunct with other parameters.
