Craniofacial morphometry in Saudi population
The purpose of this research is to have a better understanding of the craniofacial morphometric structures and comparison of the sexual dimorphism of the Saudi population. The ethnicity, hard tissue,soft tissue and dental features should be considered during treatment, especially in orthodontics...

| description | The purpose of this research is to have a better understanding of the craniofacial
morphometric structures and comparison of the sexual dimorphism of the Saudi
population. The ethnicity, hard tissue,soft tissue and dental features should be considered
during treatment, especially in orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Lateral
cephalometric radiograph for cephalometric analysis provides details about skeletal
structure relationships, relationships between skeletal structures with the teeth and facial
soft tissue structures. The lateral cephalometric radiographs help the orthodontists to pay
attention to the current facial structures as well as predict future facial growth when
planning a treatment plan for the patient. It is a cross sectional study of 500 lateral
cephalometric radioghraphs which contain 250 males and 250 females. These samples
were recruited from the Dental Center, King Khalid General Hospital, Hafer al Batin,
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with age group 18 to 30 years old. All the radiographs were
traced by using CASSOS software. All the radiographs were analyzed by using Burstone,
Down, Eastman, Holdaway, Jarabak, McNamara, Ricketts, Steiner, Tweed, Wits analysis.
In this study there were some statistically differences in some of the measurements as
compared to other established morphometric data, therefore Saudi population requires its
own cephalometric analysis as a reference. Multi cephalometric analysis are essential for
providing complete craniofacial morphometric information whereby it‘s included hard
tissue, soft tissue and dental structures of its own racial group. |
