“…For example, the mandible breadth of Chakma females was almost similar to Santhal 12 , Manchu 13 , Evenks 14 , Mongol 15 , Korean 16 females. Three-dimensional data collected by digital indirect anthropometry were reported by Sawyer et al 17 for adult Caucasian and by Sforza et al 18 for white Italians. In comparison some values were larger some were smaller than the current ones.…”

Background: It is well accepted that a single standard of craniofacial norms is not appropriate for application to diverse racial and ethnic groups, even for different sex and ages in same ethnic group. So it is necessary to develop craniofacial norms for different groups based on above factors. The present study was designed to establish the baseline measurements of the lower jaw and orolabial anthropometrical parameters and indices, and also to evaluate the differences (if any) on age related morphological variations of adult Bangladeshi Buddhist Chakma females. Methods: The study was descriptive, observational and cross-sectional in nature with some analytical components. The study group consisted of a convenient sample of 100 adult Bangladeshi Buddhist Chakma females; categorized into two groups -25 to 35 years (n = 70) and 35 to 45 years (n = 30). Variables were measured using physical and photographic procedures. Indices were calculated from those variables. An independent "t" test was performed to evaluate if there was any significant difference in measurements between the two age groups setting a p value of <0.05 as statistically significant. Results: All measurements show statistically non significant difference between two age groups except philtrum length (p = 0.02) and upper vermilion height to philtrum length index (p = 0.03). Conclusions: The result of this study can be useful for anatomists and anthropologists to serve as a basic framework for estimating the standard of lower jaw and orolabial dimensions of this population and also to compare the craniofacial dimensions of other ethnic groups of Bangladesh with this ethnic group.

“…Some studies [18][19] was conducted in a Chilean population to assess the nose's shape in relation to sex. In Italy, the dimensions of nose, ear and lips were analyzed in relation to sex and growth changes between childhood and old age [20][21][22] . Some of these external anatomical parameters were different in relation to age and sex.…”

Abstract. Forensic Facial Reconstruction (FFR) refers to any process that aims to recover the morphology of a face at the moment before death, from the observation of a skull. It's a recognition method that allows direct investigations for primary methods of human identification. The literature on this topic is very extensive, however, there are only few national studies, even in Forensic Dentistry. The present study aimed to review and to analyze the Brazilian research publications about FFR. On April 13, a search for references was carried on Bibliografia Brasileira de Odontologia (BBO) and Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) electronic full-text databases with the terms "forensic facial reconstruction", "forensic facial reconstitution" and "forensic facial approximation". A total of 10 national references was found, between 2000 and 2012: 2 articles, 3 dissertations and 5 theses. Most of the references belong to the field of dentistry and the topic that was most studied is facial soft tissue thickness of Brazilian subjects, totaling 30% of the publications. About 50% of the studies have been made since 2010, which shows that the national studies are recent. We conclude that the Brazilian literature on FFR has been growing, but there is still a lack of research. The preparation of theses and dissertations is valuable for the development of Forensic Sciences and Forensic Dentistry.

“…Welsh children aged 11.8 years on average were analyzed by Kau et al [6] using a laser scan. In our laboratory we had been collecting 3D data for the quantitative description of soft-tissue facial morphology for more than 25 years, providing reference values for more than 2,000 Italian children from 4 years of age onward [26,27].…”

In the last decades, head and face imaging has shifted from two-dimensional (2D) representations (conventional radiography, photography) to three-dimensional (3D) techniques that can better depict the complex morphology of this part of the body, since they can provide a large number of additional anthropometric information [1][2][3]. 3D imaging systems can be divided into volumetric (computed tomography, cone beam computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging) and optical surface instruments (laser scanning, moiré techniques, stereophotogrammetry, patterned light techniques) [4]. These last are safe and not invasive, and provide a 3D representation of the external (cutaneous) facial surface.Among all instruments, stereophotogrammetry is becoming the most diffused and used for both adults and children. Stereophotogrammetry is fast (typical scan time 2 ms), and it provides 3D photographs coupling a 3D mesh of the analyzed surface with a color facial image (texture). The technique takes photographs of the face from at least two different positions with two or more cameras (or set of cameras) at the same time. Using a previous calibration of the instrument, these coordinated photographs are combined to form a computerized stereoscopic reconstruction of the face [3,4]. Stereophotogrammetric systems have proven to be repeatable and able to provide accurate measurements [4,5].Alongside with stereophotogrammetry, some laboratories and research groups are using laser scanners. The device illuminates the object with a low-intensity laser, and digital cameras capture the images. During data acquisition, either the laser light or the face rotate to sample the entire surface; triangulation geometry provides the depth information [6]. A multicentric study showed that laser scanning and stereophotogrammetric acquisitions can provide superimposable data, that can be efficiently shared among laboratories [7]. 3D optical surface assessments can be of great value in clinical applications, at all ages of life, but especially for children where the concerns about radioprotection are maximized [3].
