Cephalometric analyses of the craniofacial pattern using the Jarabak analysis

Background: For an accurate orthodontic diagnosis and management, knowledge of face development and progression is required. Objective: To evaluate the linear cranial base (LCB) and angular cranial base (ACB) measurements in various Anterior and Posterior (AP) skeletal correlations, research study used Bjork-Jarabak evaluation. Material and Methods: A total of 220 young participants presenting (120 females and 100 males; average ages of 19.34 ± 2.51 and 24.84 ± 2.81 years, correspondingly) at the Multan Medical and Dental College, Multan from March 2022 to September 2022, Pakistan, served as the basis for this retrospective cross-sectional study. Results:  In comparison to Jarabak's standards, male dimensions revealed significant differences in the articular angle, AP cranial bases, ramus height, jaw length, anterior face height while women displayed low significant differences, with the exception of mandibular body length, which is longer in Pakistani women. Conclusion: Skeletal differences between Pakistani man and women were considerable, and a contrast to the study of Bjork Jarabak's standardized linear and angular values was also noteworthy.
