Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to find correlations between lateral cephalometric measurements and photographic measurements of facial attractiveness in a group of Egyptian adolescents. Materials and methods: Sixty adolescent laypersons judges (30 males – 30 females) participated in the evaluation of the pre-treatment photographs of 60 adolescent subjects (30 females – 30 males) for facial attractiveness. For each sample, the photographic rankings were correlated with the values of 19 skeletal, dental and soft tissue parameters measured from lateral cephalogramsResults: Female samples group: From the 19 cephalometric measurements; ANB, wits appraisal, MMA, lower incisor / mandibular plane angle, profile angle, E-line to lower lip, lower lip thickness and upper lip length were the variables showed significant correlation with photo attractiveness. Male samples group: ANB, facial angle, upper incisor / palatine plane angle, Z-angle, Upper lip thickness and upper lip length were the variables showed significant correlation with photo attractiveness.Conclusion: Convex profile was found to be more attractive than concave profile. Short upper lip was found to be more attractive than long upper lip Retruded lower lip was found to be more attractive than protruded lip. Short faces were found to be more attractive than long faces in females. Thin upper lip was found to be more attractive in males.
