Background and Objective: The effectiveness of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is dependent on an accurate assessment of the patient's soft tissue profile. The objective of the study was to compare the facial angular measurements between males and females.
Methods: The study comprised 100 volunteers (50 males and 50 females) ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. The respondents were chosen through convenience sampling technique from orthodontics department of children hospital Lahore. Cephalometric and photographic profile analysis was used, with angular measurements based on standard cephalometric and photographic records taken in natural head position. The study included four factors in total.
Results: The mean cephalometric and photographic naso-frontal angle was 121.050 and 121.030 respectively, where as cephalometric and phographic measurement in females were 122.240 and 122.840 respectively.
Conclusion: There was no significant difference in angular measurements between two genders.
