Among the many 3D face matching techniques that have been developed, are variants of 3D facial curve matching, which reduce the amount of face data to one or a few 3D curves. The face’s central profile, for instance, proved to work well. However, the selection of the optimal set of 3D curves and the best way to match them has not been researched systematically. We propose a 3D face matching fra...

OBJECTIVE To identify which linear, angular and proportionality measures could influence a profile to be considered esthetically pleasant or unpleasant, and to assess sexual dimorphism. METHODS 150 standardized facial profile photographs of dental students of both sexes were obtained and printed on photographic paper. Ten plastic surgeons, ten orthodontists and ten layperson answered a questi...
