Figure 1

(a) The points and planes used in this study, (b) the best-fit line method, and (c) the top-roof line method. F: Frankfort horizontal, F1: the parallel line to the F passing through the highest point of the condylar process, F2: the parallel line to the F passing through the highest point of the fossa, Ebf plane: the best-fit plane of the articular eminence inclination connecting the point, at which the F1 line cut the eminence posterior surface, Etr plane: the plane passing through the highest point of the condylar process and the highest point of the condylar process, and Eh: Eminence height.
