However, values differing from these empirical norms also enable a\u00a0therapeutically desired, normal class\u00a0I occlusion depending on individual craniofacial pattern, thus requiring floating norms based on guiding variables. As available regression equations consider only few predictor variables and are not up-to-date regarding a\u00a0contemporary patient collective, the aim of this study was to establish improved and extended regression equations for individualising the ANB angle and Wits appraisal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective, cross-sectional multicentre study was based on 71\u00a0Caucasian male and female subjects of any age with normal dental occlusion. We cephalometrically analysed digitised pretreatment lateral radiographs and performed multiple linear regression analyses to identify suitable skeletal predictor variables for individualising the ANB angle and Wits appraisal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Inter- and intrarater reliability tests showed mostly perfect measurement concordance. Both original regression equations by Panagiotidis\/Witt and J\u00e4rvinen could be updated for a\u00a0contemporary population with new regression coefficients. The equation for individualising the ANB could be further optimised in its prediction reliability by adding the skeletal predictor variables NL-NSL, NSBa, facial axis (Ricketts) and index (Hasund), whereas the recalculated Wits equation could not be further improved by additional guiding variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The improved regression formulae for individualising the ANB angle and Wits appraisal should help to improve the assessment of sagittal skeletal class in clinical orthodontic practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00056-021-00322-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,13]],"date-time":"2021-07-13T11:03:24Z","timestamp":1626174204000},"page":"10-18","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Floating norms for individualising the ANB angle and the WITS appraisal in orthodontic cephalometric analysis based on guiding variables","Flie\u00dfende Normen zur Individualisierung des ANB-Winkels und des WITS-Appraisal in der kieferorthop\u00e4dischen Fernr\u00f6ntgenseitenbildanalyse basierend auf leitenden Variablen"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Eva","family":"Paddenberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Proff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Kirschneck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"322_CR1","volume-title":"Practical statistics for medical research","author":"DG Altman","year":"1991","unstructured":"Altman\u00a0DG (1991) Practical statistics for medical research.
