Abstract

The characteristics of craniofacial complex mere different from each individual, based on age, sex, size, race and environmental factors. This study was undertaken to find out the sexual and racial difference of the craniofacial complex using lateral cephalometrics and previous studies. The material of this study was lateral cephalometric radiograms, obtained from 100 Korean adults (50 males and 50 females) ranged 20 to 27 years old, who have normal occlusion and pleasing profile. The results obtained from this study there as follows : 1. The mean values in the craniofacial complex of some Korean adults pith normal occlusion mere established. 2. The maxillae of female subjects there more protrusive than those of males. 3. In size the craniofacial complex, the male subjects were greater than females. 4. In position of upper and lower incisors, the male subjects there more protrusive than females. 5. In ratios between anterior and posterior facial height, the male subjects mere higher than females. 6. The upper incisors of some Korean adults mere relatively more protrusive than those of the other ethnic groups.
