Introduction: Gonial angle is an important angular measurement of craniofacial structure, as it predicts the direction of mandibular growth pattern, and determines the vertical compartment and symmetry the facial skeleton. Accurate measurement of gonial angle from the cephalometric lateral radiograph is difficult owing to the superposition of right and left sides gonial angle. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the reliability of orthopantomography (OPG) measuring gonial angles from right and left by measuring gonial angles contrasting these measurements with lateral cephalometric radiograph gonial angle measurements. Materials and Method: A total of 50 standardized lateral cephalometric radiographs and orthopantomography (OPG) were used in Iraqi adults aged 18-25 years (25 males and 25 females) to calculate the gonial angle at the intersection of the tangent drawn to the lower limb of the mandibula and the tangent drawn to the ascending ramus. Results: statistically there was no substantial distinction between the gonial angle measurements by lateral determination Cephalometric radiograph and Orthopantomograph (OPG). Conclusion: Orthpantomograph (OPG) is as accurate as cephalometric lateral radiography, and may it be more convenient in gonial angle calculation measurement as there is no overlaying the right and left anatomical landmarks as in lateral cephalometric radiograph.
