Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate Egyptian female profile attractiveness perception among lay males in different Angle`s classifications with different anteroposterior lip positions. Methods: An 18 years old adult Egyptian female whose Lateral Cephalometric readings were within the first standard deviation of Alexandria analysis was chosen. Her lateral profile images were digitally manipulated to produce 27 pictures representing class I, II and III with different anteroposterior lip and nose relations. The images were rated on a 1-27 point score system by 100 males (15-30 years). Comparison among the different classes was done using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey post hoc test for pair wise comparison. The same tests were used to compare across the different lip/nose positions in each class. The level of significance was set at 5% for all analyses. Results and Conclusions: Class I profile was perceived as the most attractive, while class II and III were not significantly different from each other. Generally a preference towards retrusive profiles over protrusive ones was noted in class I and II. Lip chin relation affects the female profile perception more than the lip nose relation; therefore it is recommended to retrude the lips in class IIand protrude them in class III.
