Hubungan Antara Nilai Indeks Pertumbuhan Vertikal Wajah dan Kejadian Otitis Media Kronik pada Subras Deutero Melayu Dewasa

Vertical growth index (VERT) describes craniofacial growth. This value affects the eustachian tube growth. Differences in craniofacial morphology correlates with eustachian tube anatomy function and tensor veli palatini muscles that play a role in the pathogenesis of chronic otitis media (COM). This...

Subjects:
Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital during the period of September to November 2013. Subjects were divided into two groups: COM group and control group. Cephalometric measurements were performed and the mean values difference of both groups were calculated using t test or Mann-Whitney test. The mean index VERT was then calculated for each groups and relationship between risk factors and effects were analyzed using Odds Ratio. Four of 7 subjects in the COM group have a short round face/brachifacial type with greater facial depth angle (t=3.408
p=0.005) with smaller mandibular plane angle are (t = - 4.055
p=0.002). Subjects with VERT index > +0.5 (brachyfacial type) have eight times higher risk to be COM (OR: 8; 95% CI: 0.41 to 309.1). In conclusion
Cephalometry
chronic otitis media
vertical index
