Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim To compare soft tissue chin upper lip thickness and length in patients with different mandibular divergent patternsMaterials and Methods Pretreatment lateral cephalograms of 180 patients was taken Based on the mandibular plane angle GoGnSN all the subjects were divided into three groups Group 1 hyperdivergent 30 males 30 females Group 2 hypodivergent 30 males 30 females Group 3 normodivergent 30 males 30 females Soft tissue chin upper lip thickness and length were measured on the cephalograms The measurements were recorded by the same operator and analysed statisticallyResults Soft tissue chin thickness PogPog39 GnGn39 and MeMe39 was found to be statistically significant only between hyperdivergent hypodivergent groups p0008 pConclusion Soft tissue chin thickness was greatest in the hypodivergent group as compared to the other groups Greater values for lip thickness were observed for hypodivergent patients No difference in lip length was seen for all the groups Keywords Soft tissue analysis Cephalometrics Mandibular divergence
