Article Abstract

: This present retrospective study aimed to introduce Lower Incisor-Pg and to assess how this new parameter varies with the skeletal sagittal and vertical relationships. : A total of 1256 cephalometric analyses were performed using lateral cephalometric radiographs of a sample of subjects divided according to , , and measurements. The differences in between the groups were assessed through ANOVA tests and posthoc analyses, while Pearson's correlation analysis was used to assess the correlations between the measurements. : The mesofacial growth pattern (61.0%) was more common than dolichofacial (30.0%) and brachyfacial (8.6%) ones in the sampled population. Regarding skeletal sagittal relationships, Class I was more frequent (70.9%) than Class II (19.3%) and Class III (9.8%). The mean value of the Lower Incisor-Pg was 3.2 ± 4.0 mm. Linear regression showed that the β coefficient was 0.45 and 0.36 for ANPg^ and SnGoGn^, respectively. : Lower Incisor-Pg is a linear cephalometric measurement to evaluate the lower incisor sagittal position. For each degree of increase in ANPg^ and SNGoGn^, the Lower Incisor-Pg increased 0.45 mm and 0.36 mm, respectively.
