The aim of the study is to detect gender-wise difference in the skeletal asymmetry in the esthetically pleasing faces.
a cross sectional study was conducted on 25 females and 25 males of age 18 -25 years using the posterior-anterior cephalograms. The selected part of grummon's frontal analysis for analyzing the vertical skeletal asymmetries, mandibular morphology, transverse asymmetry and mandibular deviation was used. The obtained data was subjected to independent student's't' test for comparing the difference between males and females.
there was statistically significant difference between the males and females for the measurements like Gonion-Menton length for the mandibular morphology and for the transverse parameters like zygomatico frontal suture length, jular length and antegonial notch length. There was no significant difference for the sidedness of asymmetry for the males and females.
frontal facial asymmetry showed sexual dimorphism with males showing greater asymmetric values than the females. The asymmetry showed right sided prominence for both the males and females. This knowledge can be utilized for planning facial reconstruction and remodeling surgeries.
本研究旨在检测在具有美学吸引力的面部骨骼不对称方面的性别差异。
采用后前位头颅侧位片,对25名年龄在18至25岁之间的女性和25名男性进行了横断面研究。使用格鲁蒙额部分析中选定的部分来分析垂直骨骼不对称、下颌形态、横向不对称和下颌偏斜。对获得的数据进行独立样本t检验,以比较男性和女性之间的差异。
在下颌形态的角点至颏下点长度以及横向参数如颧额缝长度、下颌体长和下颌角切迹长度等测量方面,男性和女性之间存在统计学上的显著差异。男性和女性在不对称的侧别方面没有显著差异。
额面部不对称表现出性别二态性,男性的不对称值大于女性。男性和女性的不对称均表现为右侧突出。这一知识可用于面部重建和重塑手术的规划。
