Abstract
Correlation Between Gender and Soft Tissue Characteristics Of Face Among South Indian Population Of Various Skeletal Malocclusion
Highlights
This forms the basis of sexual dimorphism
The study sample comprised 30 lateral cephalograms collected between the time period of June 2019 - March 2020, which were divided into 3 groups
The obtained results show a mean increase in all the variables of Class II except Lower lip thickness, which was maximum in Class I skeletal malocclusion
Summary
The first thing a person recalls from memory is the face of another person [20] Variations in the skeleton can be reflected by variations in the soft tissue surrounding it, due to its close proximity. Dentoskeletal structures and the facial soft tissue thickness together constitute the facial profile. Skeletal malocclusions are the discrepancies of the skeletal structures of the face due to genetic, environmental conditions or both. It can be due to the prognathism of a specific jaw or retrognathism of the opposing jaw or a combination of both. Based on this combination, they can be classified as Class I, Class II and Class III [6, 19]
