ABSTRACT:

Aim: To determine the soft tissue linear and angular measurements of skeletal class-I patients and gender dimorphism from the selected sample. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in the department of orthodontics; Nishtar Institute of Dentistry Multan for one-year duration from May 2019 to April 2020. The sample comprised of subjects within age 16 through 20 years. All subjects had Class I dental and skeletal relationships, competent lips with normal over-jet and over-bite. Lateral photographs of all the subjects were taken at natural head position. A total 22 parameters were evaluated which included 8 linear measurements four Canut’s linear measurements six linear horizontal measurements four angular measurements. Results: In the study of facial heights [Superior Facial Third (Tri-G), Middle Facial Third (G-Sn), Inferior Facial Third (Sn-Me)], the similarity between the inferior facial third (Sn-Me: men 40.5 ± 0.123 mm and females 39.9 ± 0.09 mm) and the middle facial third was observed. However, in the superior third (Tri-G: males 40.5±3.6 mm and females 39.9±3.1 mm), sexual dimorphism was not found nor were the facial thirds proportional with the other thirds. Conclusion: In conclusion, this profile depends on the age, gender and ethnic group of the person. Key words: orthodontics, soft tissues, occlusion, lateral photograph
