Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Facial anthropometry has its well known implications in fields like forensic science and reconstructive surgery. Facial index and face type provides an indication about the races and individuality. The present study aimed to examine Facial Index in Gujarati Males and to find out the distribution of their face type. Presence of the morphometric variations in the faces makes it necessary to have baseline data for reconstruction and forensic science. Mean facial index of Gujarati Male was 81.7 whereas dominant face type was Euriprosopic (42.96%) and rare type of face was Leptoprosopic (3.64%). We found significant variation in the face type in adult males of Gujarat.
