When considering orthognathic surgery for adult Saudi Arabians, there are as yet no cephalometric norms available for use during treatment planning. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken for 48 Saudi adult patients (24 males, 24 females). All showed reasonably normal dental relationship, with no severe antero-posterior, vertical or transverse skeletal discrepancies. The age range was from 20 to 46 years. Angular and linear measurements were recorded and compared to a similar sample of North American caucasians. A set of cephalometric values for male and female Saudis were established and the differences between these and a North American sample are highlighted.
在考虑为成年沙特阿拉伯人进行正颌手术时，目前尚无用于治疗计划的头影测量标准。对48名沙特成年患者（24名男性，24名女性）拍摄了头颅侧位X线片。所有患者均表现出合理正常的牙关系，无严重的前后、垂直或横向骨骼差异。年龄范围为20至46岁。记录角度和线性测量值，并与北美白种人的类似样本进行比较。建立了一组沙特男性和女性的头影测量值，并突出显示了这些值与北美样本之间的差异。
