Dentofacial deformities (DDF) are prevalent alterations; and the transverse deficiency of the jaws (TMD) is one of the most frequent. To diagnose it, various tests are performed, evaluating whether the patient meets the standards considered "normal" between the bone availability of the jaws, in order to achieve a balance, which allows a safe dental occlusion to be achieved. The DDF shows in the three planes of space, and are related to conditions such as “v” arches, crossbite, and dental crowding. Reaching an accurate diagnosis in these cases is complicated, and up to now there is no consensus, clear protocols or imaging parameters for the diagnosis of TMD. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) became known in the 1990s. Since then, it has become popular due to its good resolution, low radiation dose and its applicability in multiple spatialities. The objective of this research was to establish anatomical reference points in the TCHC to find the parameters that define a TMD. After analyzing 60 tomographies (30 cases and 30 controls of TMD) and submitting the measurements found to the pertinent statistical analysis, it was concluded that the anatomical points lateral margin of the Greater Palatine Foramen and width of the nostrils, presented significant values, so they can be proposed as reliable anatomical parameters for the diagnosis of TMD.
