Abstract
Background
Facial parameters play a crucial role in determining the shape of the face, which can be classified into various types such as Hypereuryprosopic (very broad face), Euryprosopic (broad face), Mesoprosopic (round face), Leptoprosopic (long face), & Hyperleptoprosopic (very long face). These facial parameters are influenced by several factors such as environment, sex, age, culture, ethnicity, and food habits. The morphological facial characteristics also play an important role in orthodontic treatment
Material and Method:- The study was meticulously conducted in the Department of Anatomy, RAMA Medical Sciences Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. It encompassed 400 subjects, evenly distributed between males and females, aged 18 to 25. The research commenced after obtaining institutional and ethical committee clearance, and written consent was secured from all the subjects, ensuring the study's integrity and adherence to ethical standards.
Result:- The facial length is significantly longer in males than in females. The mean facial length is 10.85 cm in males and 10.04 cm in females.
The facial breadth is also higher in males than in females. The mean facial breadth is 12.30 cm in males, whereas it is 12.04 cm in females.
Conclusion:- the study derived a regression formula for calculating an individual's height from facial length and breadth for both males and females. Additionally, the study found that both facial length and breadth are higher in males than in females.
