Official title
Diagnostic Agreement Between Visual Clinical Assessment and CBCT-Derived Palatal Angle Measurements for Determination of Palatal Arch Shape: Cross-Sectional Radiographic Study
Overview
Standardized intraoral photographs corresponding to each CBCT scan will be evaluated by two calibrated examiners. Palatal arch shape will be visually classified into one of three categories: high arched palate, normal palate, or low/shallow palate. Examiners will perform assessments independently and will be blinded to CBCT measurements and to each other's results.
