![]() ![]() In order to study the variation of dentoskeletal pattern in Chilean population, in the present study standard methods of geometric morphometrics to a sample of 150 lateral telerradiographs of classes I, II division 1 and III were applied. Moreover, the linear nature of cephalometric data does not allow to partition shape and size components. While this method successfully discriminates within group extreme types of malocclusions, it usually does not distinguish the intermediate ones, which leads to different diagnoses for the same phenotype. Traditionally, this diagnosis is carried out using cephalometric analysis based on the comparison of distances and angle measurements. In orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery, dentoeskeletal diagnosis is essential for treatment planning.
