Abstract :Objectives: Dentofacial morphology of Class III malocclusion may display a midfacial discrepancy which requires multidirectional correction. The vomer bone as a central strut of midface complex has a role in sustaining a balanced stomatognathic system. That craniofacial interrelation was obtained from two insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2D); or three dimensional insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3D); analysis of cephalometric images in the identification still remains unclear. This study was designed to clarify dimensional changes and pattern variations of the vomer bone in a different dentofacial discrepancy. Methods: Anatomical landmarks examinations were performed on 96 patient’s cone – beam computed tomography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CBCT); image to determine vomer bone outline of Turkish adult patients. The vomeral outline determination was done by using cropping tools of the software algorithm. The vomer bone components within midface were identified, connected and linear references were taken horizontally between anterior maxilla base plane and vomer base plane. The vomeral components were spliced, measured, and reconstructed in a three-dimensional model using MIMICS 19.0 version insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mimics®, Materialize, Leuven, Belgium); software. The vomer bone pattern was classified into 3 main type groups that were statistically analyzed among study groups respectively. Results: A high significant with a positive correlation of the different vomeral components and three pattern model with different dentofacial profiles were found. Also, the vomer bone variations were more severe in male than female insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.01);. No statistically significant between the vomeral components of cases and mean age insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05); were determined. Conclusion: The results of this study provide fine details of surgical anatomy knowledge of the vomer bone pattern that can be used as a valuable reference for Orthodontic and Orthognathic procedures.
