ABSTRACT:

Aim: Determination of linear and angular measurements of soft tissues in patients with class I skeletal and sexual dimorphism from the selected sample. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the department of orthodontics at the Nishtar dental Hospital, Multan for one-year duration from April 2019 to April 2020. The sample included people aged 16 to 20. All subjects had class I interdental and bone relationships, competent mouths with normal hypersensitivity and excessive bite. Side pictures of all subjects were taken in their natural head position. A total of 22 parameters were assessed, including 8 linear measurements, four Canut’s linear measurements, six horizontal linear measurements, and four angular measurements. Results: In the study of facial growth [Superior Facial Third (Tri-G), Middle Facial Third (G-Sn), Inferior Facial Third (Sn-Me)], the similarity between the lower third of the face (Sn-Me: men 40.5 ± 0.123 mm and females 39.9 ± 0.09 mm) and the middle third of the face. However, in the higher third (Tri-G: males 40.5 ± 3.6 mm and females 39.9 ± 3.1 mm) no sexual dimorphism was observed, and the facial thirds were not proportional to the remaining thirds. Conclusion: In conclusion, this profile depends on the age, gender and ethnic group of the person. Keywords: orthodontics, soft tissues, occlusion, lateral image
