Abstract
Objective: Condylion-Gonion-Menton (CoGoMe) angle and dentoalveolar heights are important parameters that provide information about maxillomandibular growth and development. This study aimed to examine the changes in the CoGoMe angle and dentoalveolar heights after functional treatment and to analyze whether they are related to each other. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 patients, 38 females (mean age 11.7 ± 0.6) and 22 males (mean age 12.6 ± 0.5), with skeletal class II division I malocclusion caused by mandibular retrognathia and treated with monoblock in the peak period were included. Linear measurements of skeletal angular and dentoalveolar heights were made on lateral cephalograms taken pre- (T0) and post-functional treatment (T1). Paired sample t test, Wilcoxon test and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient were used for statistical analyses. Statistical significance was accepted as p<0.05. Results: While the CoGoMe angle increased significantly with treatment, no significant change was found in the SN/GoGn angle. While no significant change was observed in SNA angle, the increase in SNB and the decrease in ANB were found to be significant. No significant change was observed in anterior dentoalveolar heights. However, increases in posterior dentoalveolar heights were found to be significant. While there was no significant relationship between dentoalveolar heights and CoGoMe angle, dentoalveolar heights showed a positive significant relationship with each other. Conclusions: It was observed that there was no relationship between the CoGoMe angle and dentoalveolar heights and that the CoGoMe angle was a suitable alternative to the SN/GoGn angle. Since the increases in posterior dentoalveolar heights occur at the dentoalveolar level as a result of selective grinding, it was concluded that dentoalveolar changes should not be neglected while providing skeletal correction for stability in functional orthopedic treatment. © (2024), (Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Dentistry).
