Estimation of referent cephalometric parameters in dental prosthetics.
Estimation of the inclination of the occlusal plane and its spatial orientation during the insertion of plaster casts in the articulators space, and control during the clinical phase of the prosthetic work, is one of the key problems in dental prosthetics. The aim of this investigation was to compare the relations of the basic roentgencephalometric parameters applied and to determine their reliability. Five angular variables were analysed: OP-MdP, OP-PP, OP-CP, OP-FP and OP-SNP, on a sample of 86 radiographs of subjects with almost normal occlusion by applying basic statistical parameters and the correlation's analysis. The results gave mean values of the investigated variables with estimation of their variability and level of mutual correlation, which can be used when determining individual inclination of the occlusal plane. Parameters FP and SNP showed significant stability and reliability which can be successfully applied in prosthodontics.
