Resumo

Introduction: The ANB angle and the Wits appraisal are common cephalometric tools for assessing anteroposterior jaw discrepancies. Assessment of a patient’s anatomy in the anteroposterior disharmony of the maxillary and mandibular should not be limited to hard-tissue relationships, but should also consider soft tissue involvement, such as the soft tissue facial profile angle. Objective: To evaluate the correlations between sagittal skeletal relationships established through ANB angle and Wits appraisal and to evaluate the soft-tissue facial profile angle, assessed by the G-Sn-Pog’ angle. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 300 individuals (129 male and 171 female). The ANB angle, the Wits appraisal, and by the G-Sn-Pog’ angle were obtained through lateral cephalograms. The facial profile was categorized into three groups. The correlation coefficients between ANB angle and Wits appraisal and between the soft-tissue facial profile angle and skeletal pattern were evaluated. Results: A significant correlation (p <.001) was observed between ANB angle and Wits appraisal (r= .738), between G-Sn-Pog’ and ANB angle (r= -.708), and between G-Sn-Pog’ and Wits appraisal (r= -.586). When assessed separately according to different groups of soft-tissue facial profiles, there was a weak correlation between ANB and Wits assessment in the low soft-tissue facial profile angle subjects (Group II), and a moderate correlation in the high soft-tissue facial profile angle subjects (Group III). Conclusion: The correlation between ANB angle and Wits was moderate to high, except in Group II soft-tissue facial profile subjects.
