Abstract
Objectives: Craniofacial variations presents in different ethnic populations around the world. Therefore proper morphpmetric comparison of this craniofacial structure with that ethnic norm require to determine dentofacial deformity while orthodontic management. Methodology: To evaluate a morphometric norm of Bangladeshi populations by Tweeds methods of lateral cephalometric parameter, 112 cephalographs of Bangladeshi young adults (56 male, 56 female) with mean age of 19(±2.13) years were traced and evaluated by tweeds analysis on angular measurement. Results: The study shows increase value of FMA with decrease value of IMPA, which indicate that this populations mid-facial height are a bit larger and incisor are a bit retrocline. Conclusions: Differentiation between the Bangladeshi populations value with that of tweeds study explain the craniofacial patter of this populations which should be properly compare for diagnostic and therapeutic measure.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphometric norm for Bangladeshi populations with study population and comparing the value with those of previous study on other Bangladeshi populations
There is only one research[7] has been reported with lateral cephalometric radiograph by tweed’s analysis on Bangladeshi population, which was constitute of mostly undergraduate dental school students
Summary
Abstracts: Objectives: Craniofacial variations presents in different ethnic populations around the world. The 112 radiographs (56 male and 56 female) were selected on the basis of having a harmonious face with a convex facial profile (from their photographic record), Angles[5] class I molar relationship with presence of all permanent teeth up to second molar (from their dental cast record), and without history of any type of previous orthodontic treatment (fixed/ removable/ functional) Their ages range from 16 years to 26 years with mean age of 19(±2.13) years of age. The radiograph operator was instructed to record the lateral cephalometric radiograph when the each subject position in the cephalostat with the head oriented to the Frankfort horizontal plane and the teeth in centric occlusion with lip relaxed All those recored radiograph were traced manually and analysis by a single investigator to avoid the investigator error. The interpretation were measured and evaluated by SPSS 17 (Chicago, USA) for statistical analysis
