Measurements | Description |
---|---|
Interdental width (coronal view) | Interdental width was measured by tracing a line between the mesial points of upper central incisors at the level of cementoenamel junction. |
Nasal spine width (coronal view) | Nasal spine width was measured by tracing a line between the right and left most lateral parts of the nasal spine. |
Nasal base width (coronal view) | Nasal base width was measured by tracing a line between the right and left most lateral parts of the skeletal nasal base at the level of nasal floor. |
Maxillary width (coronal view) | Maxillary width was measured by tracing a line between the left and right jugulare points of the maxilla. |
Buccal intermolar width (transversal view) | The distance between the most buccal point of mesiobuccal cusp’s enamel margin of the right and left upper first molars. |
Palatal intermolar width (transversal view) | The distance between the most palatal point of mesiopalatal cusp’s enamel margin of the right and left upper first molars. |
