Adolescent and Adult Skeletal and Soft Tissue Facial Profiles

Abstract

Aim- The aim of this study was to establish the norms for several cephalometric soft tissue measurements and to look at differences in the mean values of these measurements between two age groups (11–14 and 18–25) and two genders. Methodology-The adolescent sample is made up of 30 individuals, 15 of each gender, ranging in age from 11 to 14. The adult sample is made up of 30 participants, 15 men and 15 women, ranging in age from 18 to 25 years. The two classes that met the requirements of facial equilibrium, class I molar relationship ship, and regular over bite–over jet relationship ship. Tracing a lateral cephalometric radiograph yielded ten skeletal and soft tissue measurements. A descriptive statistic and a student t– test
were used to evaluate the results
