Chin-throat morphology of Nepalese adults with normal occlusion and aesthetic facial profile – a cephalometric study

Objective(s): The present study was undertaken to obtain normative value for chin-throat morphology in Nepalese adult male and female subjects with normal occlusion aesthetic facial profile variation of chinthroat between the two sexes. Materials Method: In this cross-sectional study, lateral cephalograms pleasing profiles were selected from archives Department Orthodontics, Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University School Medical Sciences, Nepal. Manual tracing measurement 3 parameters evaluating i.e. lip-chin-throat angle, length chin-throat-neck angle done. Descriptive analysis carried out Student’s t-test used find difference measurements subjects. Result: mean values 105.56 ± 8.69 degrees, 40.48 5.95 mm 121.69 13.86 degrees respectively. 106.09 8.60 105.12 8.92 Similarly, 40.08 5.39 males 40.80 6.47 females. Also, chinthroat-neck found be 121.14 16.99 122.16 10.92 Conclusion: Normative adults established. addition it, sexual dimorphism observed while comparing However, differences statistically insignificant.
