Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of this work was to establish a statistical relationship of the results obtained with two different techniques. The comparison was made between the ideal facial height proposed in the Silva cephalometric method (SCM) and the facial height obtained using Euclid's rectangle or golden rectangle.
Materials and Methods: 38 cephalometric radiographs of dentistry students of Universidad de Cuenca, of both sexes, were used. All of these radiographs had suitable characteristics for cephalometric tracing in the NemoStudio 2022 software. Once the cephalometric tracing was made using these software tools, SCM was performed on each one of them to collect the data, and then we proceeded to overlap Euclid’s rectangle on all the images. The correlation of these two methods was established with Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Results: It was concluded that the Pearson correlation coefficient was [r]: 0.9271
Conclusions: 5% of the patients presented compatibility with the logarithmic spiral of the golden ratio.
