The main aim of carrying out this study was to check the accuracy of gonial angle measured from panoramic radiographs left and right side and then compare them to the gonial angle value from lateral cephalograms.

Experiencing the angle properties in a circle These included the measurement of LLA for which the Cobb technique was used geometrically to measure the angle from the superior endplate of L1 V.

The researchers in this study use these indicators to determine if they can be extended when the students are involved in mobile learning activities. Using mobile learning to support students' understanding in geometry: a design-based research study The ANB angle was traced by connecting the bony point N with the deepest point on anterior maxilla and the anterior most border of chin.
