- Abstract
Background: The purpose of the study was to determine the soft tissue cephalometric norms for adult Karnataka population with well-balanced and pleasing faces, for diagnosis and treatment planning of orthognathic surgery, to determine variation in norms between Karnataka and the Caucasian population. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 100 adults (50 males and 50 females), with a mean age of 17-30 years were obtained from the Karnataka population. Standardized lateral radiographic head films in a natural head position were used. The radiographs were analyzed using cephalometrics for orthognathic surgery soft tissue analysis. Results: Various angular and linear measurements for soft tissue showed increased convexity in males and increased throat angle in facial form and in lip position and form showed decreased the nasolabial angle, increased lower lip protrusion, and increased mentolabial Sulcus in Karnataka population. Conclusion: Soft tissue analysis showed increased soft tissue convexity in males compared to females and increased throat angle in both sexes in facial forms, and in lip position and form, showed decreased the nasolabial angle, increased lower lip protrusion, and increased mentolabial Sulcus in Karnataka population.
