Abstract

This paper aims to identify morphological pattern variations of the Overall Craniofacial Structure (OCS) in skeletal relationships I, II, and III using GM-2D. This was a prospective study using non-probability sampling. It implied taking 272 lateral radiographs of the head of Colombian individuals (140 males/132 females) aged 17 to 25 years, determining intra-examiner error and using F-ANOVA as statistic test. Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA) was conducted as well as atypical data detection by Adaptive Quantile. Size variation was analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test considering Centroid Size matrix (CS) and conformational differences were analyzed with MANOVA. Craniofacial patterns were identified by Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and K-means/cluster. The OCS showed conformational differences and a good classification capacity of 89% (Class I), 89% (Class II), and 91% (Class III). Four craniofacial patterns were identified; three of them showed typical skeletal relationships and the other pointed out to a new Class I/II combined group.
