Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to establish Korean norms that will be valuable aids for diagnosis in orthognathic surgery patients. Lateral cephalometric measurements were established for adult Koreans (60 males, 62 females) with normal occlusion and acceptable profiles. The results were as follows: 1. Means, standard deviation and sexual differentiation were included within each measurement. 2. In skeletal measurements, FH to SN and SN to mandibular plane measurements in females were larger than those in males while all linear measurements in males were larger than those in males were larger than those in females. 3. Significant differences were observed between male and female groups on all of the items that showed vertical relationship in dental measurements. And the measurements of ADH, PDH and overbite in males were larger than those in females while the measurements of incisor exposure in females were larger than those in males. 4. In all measurements of soft tissue except NLA, that is, of FCA, UFH, ULL and LLL, males were larger than those in females.
