Objective: To introduce a novel perspective known as the CAP1 angle using Point W, M and G, which effectively assesses the sagittal skeletal interrelation between the maxilla and mandible, without being influenced by alterations in the vertical dimension.
Materials and Methods: In this orthodontic study, lateral cephalograms of 250 patients were examined to evaluate sagittal discrepancies. One investigator measured parameters like the ANB angle, Wit's appraisal, and Beta angle. For Categorical Data Frequency and Percentage were obtained, For Continuous data Mean and SD was obtained. To compare categorical data Cross Tabulation with Chi Square test of proportion was applied, and to compare the continuous data ANOVA with Post Hoc Tukey’s was used. All the statistical analysis was performed keeping the confidence interval at 95% and (p<0.05) was considered statistically significant. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 150 cephalograms were chosen and categorized into Class I, Class II, and Class III skeletal groups.
Results: CAP1 angles between 19o and 25o, >250 and <19o suggest skeletal class I, II, and III malocclusions, respectively.
Conclusion: CAP1 angle thus helps assessing the sagittal skeletal malocclusion without being altered by changes in vertical dimensions and age.
