Abstract
Background: This analysis was developed directly from the philosophy expressed in Arnett and Bergman “Facial keys to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, Parts I and II”. The novelty of this approach, as with the “Facial Keys” articles, is an emphasis on soft tissue facial measurement. This article describes comparison of various facial lengths between Himachali male population and South Indian male population that contribute to an aesthetically pleasing face which should be considered during orthodontic treatment. The aim of the present study was to highlightthe differences in facial length norms between Himachalimales and South Indianmales. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 50Himachali males of age group 18-25 years were taken in Department of Orthodontics, Himachal Institute of Dental Sciences, Paonta Sahib and tracing of soft tissue profile as well as related osseous and dental structures were made using Nemoceph software. Then Arnett’s soft tissue traits were compared with Himachali traits. Results: The present study showed that there is decreasedupper lip length in Himachali males as compared to South Indian population. Conclusion: Individual norms are necessary for a population in order to plan and deliver quality treatment.
