Evaluation of Soft Tissue Cephalometric Norms for Maharashtrian Population Using Holdaway Analysis
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Aim: Based on Holdaway analysis, the present study aims to evaluate soft tissue cephalometric norms for the Maharashtrian population. Materials and Methods: The digital lateral cephalograms of 60 subjects with Maharashtrian ethnicity within the age range of 18–30 years with normal occlusion were obtained. Holdaway analysis was carried out using Dolphin Software. The obtained values were statistically analyzed to evaluate soft tissue norms for the Maharashtrian population. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in soft tissue norms between Maharashtrian population and Caucasian norms. Conclusion: Ethnic differences exist between Maharashtrian population and Caucasian population which should be considered when formulating an orthodontic treatment plan.
