Overview

Cross-sectional study explores the link between spinal posture and craniofacial morphology, suggesting implications for orthodontic assessments.

Key Points

  • This study aims to quantify the relationship between thoracic hyperkyphosis and sagittal skeletal malocclusion.
  • Collected lateral cephalometric and spinal radiographic data from 166 individuals.
  • Analyzed thoracic kyphosis angles using multinomial regression, adjusted for demographics.
  • Performed receiver operating characteristic analysis for skeletal malocclusion identification.
  • Thoracic hyperkyphosis significantly associated with sagittal skeletal discrepancies (p < 0.05).
  • SNA measurements showed no significant difference (p = 0.245); SNB showed a small significant difference (p = 0.033).
  • ROC analysis indicated moderate performance in identifying skeletal malocclusion groups (AUC = 0.74).
