title: Computer-based analysis of 227 white males and females to establish range of malar-maxillary cephalometric relationships.
abstract: A computer-based analysis was undertaken on 227 white males and females to establish the relationship of the sella-nasion orbitale angle to that of the sella-nasion A point. The ratio of sella-orbitale to sella-nasion was also studied and it was discovered that these results were significantly related to the sella-nasion A-point angle. There was little sexual dimorphism. These results provide objective guidelines to the surgical treatment of people suffering from hypoplastic development of the middle part of the face.
