The Analysis of Anterior Facial Dimensions Among the Sample of Kurdish Population
Abstract
Introduction: Cephalometric analysis is essential for assessing facial proportions and planning treatments in orthodontics. Different populations, like the Kurdish group, have unique facial features, requiring specific norms for accurate clinical practice. This study establishes these norms for the Kurdish population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 111 lateral cephalometric radiographs of Kurdish individuals aged 20-45 with balanced facial characteristics and class I occlusion. Radiographs were traced using digital tracing methods to measure total anterior facial height (TAFH), upper anterior facial height (UAFH), and lower anterior facial height (LAFH). The UAFH/TAFH and LAFH/TAFH ratios were also calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 29. Results: The study establishes cephalometric norms for the Kurdish population, highlighting significant sex differences in facial height measurements. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of facial morphology in the Kurdish population, with implications for improving orthodontic and orthognathic treatment outcomes. Conclusion: The study provides cephalometric norms for the Kurdish population, aiding in personalized orthodontic and orthognathic treatment planning. It also highlights significant sex differences, essential for achieving culturally appropriate aesthetic outcomes. Keywords: Anterior facial height; Cephalometric analysis; Facial morphology; Orthodontics; Orthognathic surgery.
