Resumen
CARRASCO-BUSTOS, Jimmy et al. Relation between the Natural Head Position and the Frankfort Plane. Rev. Clin. Periodoncia Implantol. Rehabil. Oral [online]. 2019, vol.12, n.2, pp.74-76. ISSN 0719-0107. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0719-01072019000200074.
Aims:
The aim of this study was to compare the parallelism between the Frankfort Plane (FP) traced in soft tissues and the true horizontal plane when the patient is in the Natural Head Position (NHP).
Methods:
The sample included 97 volunteers. A profile facial photograph of each of the participants was taken and the angulation of the FP traced in soft tissues was then analyzed with Photoshop® software. T-test was used to determine if there was statistical difference between the FP traced in soft tissues and the true horizontal.
Results:
The result of the t-test indicates that in the general sample there are statistical differences between the FP traced in soft tissues and the true horizontal.
Conclusions:
When patients are in NHP, there is a statistical difference between the FP traced in soft tissues and the true horizontal.
