Abstract
Anthropometery is a measure of living subjects and had played a vital role in majority of fields there appears to be certain facial proportions and relationships that provide a basis for the diagnosis and planning for improvement of facial form. Anthropometeric measurements are used to determine facial shapes. To determine the facial index and canine relationship in Distt. Solan population. A total of 250 subjects (108 males and 147 females), aged 10- 40 years, were selected randomly. The facial proportions measured were (facial height and breadth). A digital vernier caliper was used for the measurement of facial proportions. The total facial index was calculated and the results obtained were analyzed statistically using the t-test. There was a no significant difference in the facial parameters and canine relationship when males were compared with the female subjects. The dominant phenotype in the studied population was Mesoprosopic. Class II canine relation was most common in the overall population. The data obtained in our study may be useful in anthropological research, forensics, genetic research, as well as in medical clinical practice.
