Abstract
To get and analyze the metric data of zygomatic region for the plasty of zygoma. A total of 108 dry skulls in Chinese Han population were randomly collected and measured. The metrical data were divided into 4 parts, including the relative position of contour height of zygomatic bone, the relative prominence of zygomatic bone, the relative prominence of zygomatic arch, and the angle of the zygomatic bone and arch. The measurements in the 4 parts showed significantly difference between male and female (P < 0.05). For relative position of contour height of zygomatic bone group, the data of male is significantly bigger than female (P < 0.05). For relative prominence of zygomatic bone/zygomatic arch group, zygoma/zygomatic arch of male significantly protruded more than female (P < 0.05). The location of male zygoma is more protruding than female. The female zygoma is squarer than male and marginal process is helpful in zygomatic plasty. These studies show and analyze the metric data of zygomatic region in Chinese Han population for the plasty of zygoma. These different characters between males and females could be helpful in zygomatic plasty of Chinese Han population based on this research.
