Syrian Norms of Mcnamara Cephalometric Analysis

McNamara’s cephalometric analysis is one of the most suitable analyses for diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment evaluation. Yet, no study has, till now, detected the norms of this analysis in a Syrian population. The current study aims to establish cephalometric norms of McNamara’s analysis for Syrians with normal occlusion and to compare these norms between males and females. The study was conducted using lateral cephalometric radiographs of a sample comprised of 100 adolescents with normal, permanent occlusion. The results showed that there were statistically significant gender differences among Syrians for 11 out of 15 cephalometric variables. The comparison revealed statistically significant differences in most variables between Syrian males and females. Therefore, It would be preferable to use the specific Syrian norms. Resume L’analyse cephalometrique de McNamara est l’une des analyses les plus appropriees pour le diagnostic, la planification et l’evaluation du traitement. Pourtant, aucune etude n’a, jusqu’a present, detecte les normes de cette analyse dans une population syrienne. La presente etude vise a etablir les normes cephalometriques de l’analyse de McNamara pour des Syriens et de comparer ces normes entre les hommes et les femmes. L’etude a ete realisee a l’aide de radiographies cephalometriques laterales d’un echantillon compose de 100 adolescents avec occlusion permanente normale. Les resultats ont montre la presence de differences statistiquement significatives entre les deux sexes pour 11 variables cephalometriques de 15. Par consequent, il serait preferable d’appliquer specifiquement ces norms en etudiant la population syrienne.
