Assessment of Arnett’s Soft Tissue Norms For Himachali Population Using Digital Tracing Method: A Cephalometric Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: The analysis is a radiographic instrument that was developed directly from the philosophy expressed in Arnett and Bergman “Facial keys to orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, Parts I and II”. The novelty of this approach, as with the “Facial Keys” articles, is an emphasis on soft tissue facial measurement. This article describes various soft tissue traits that contribute to an aesthetically pleasing face which should be considered during orthodontic treatment. The aim of the present study was to propose soft tissue norms for Himachali population. Materials and Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 100 Himachali subjects (50 males and 50 females) of age group 18-25 years were taken in Department of Orthodontics, Himachal Institute of Dental Sciences, Paonta Sahib and tracing of soft tissue profile as well as related osseous and dental structures were made using Nemoceph software. Then Arnett’s soft tissue traits were studied as described by Bergman. Results: The present study showed that, a horizontal growth tendency in Himachali is acceptable esthetically. A fuller upper lip is considered balanced and esthetic. Increase in lip incompetency is considered unaesthetic. Conclusion: An increased posterior height resulting in horizontal growth tendency is acceptable esthetically. Individual norms are necessary for a population in order to plan and deliver quality treatment.
