Relationship between Angular Measurements and Facial Shape of Young Ivorians with Normal Dental Occlusion

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to perform an analysis of angular measurements (from both the full face and profile), according to shapes of the human face. Method It was a descriptive and cross-sectional study of 108 black Ivorian subjects. For each subject selected, two standardized photographs (full face and profile) were taken, followed by anthropometric measurements. The data collected were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 statistics software for Windows. Results In the present work, the faces were consid… Show more

“…Protrusion or retrusion of midfacial (nasal) segment influences the facial aesthetics and can be objectively determined by measuring the facial angles of this segment. Protrusion of this segment is racially characterististic for Africans, retrusion for Asians [6,11,17]. In Caucasians, retrusion of nasal third is rarely connected to normal racial antropological variations.…”

“…The nasofacial angle indicates its prominence in relation to the entire facial massif [6]. The average values for eugnathic subjects range, according to various authors, from 30˚ to 40.5˚ [3,8,20].…”

“…Profile harmony, unlike aesthetics, is defined by numerous parameters (among them the angle ones are predominant), making it clearly defined and measurable. Angle thought that universal measurement for assessing different facial profiles harmony [3] cannot be applied, because the profile morphotype is affected by various factors such as: ethnic and geographical [4], gender [5], ecological, biological, age and nutritional factors [6].…”
