Brief Summary
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.

Primary Outcomes (1)
diagnostic agreement of palatal shape
To determine the diagnostic agreement between visual clinical classification of palatal arch shape and CBCT-derived palatal angle measurements.
January 2026
Eligibility Criteria
The study included adults (≥18 years) with high-quality full-maxilla CBCT scans, excluding those with craniofacial anomalies, prior palatal surgery/trauma, palatal lesions, or poor-quality images.
You may qualify if:
- Adults ≥18 years
- CBCT scans showing complete hard palate
- Presence of first maxillary molars bilaterally
You may not qualify if:
- Palatal surgery or trauma history
- Maxillofacial anomalies
- Palatal pathology
- Poor CBCT quality
