Sažetak
The aim of the study was to evaluate the average variables that define the soft tissue facial profile of Caucasian sample by means of angular measurement and to test gender differences. The sample consisted of 110 students (52 males, 58 females). The mean age for males was 28.7 and for females 25.7. The criteria for selection included aesthetically pleasing and balanced soft tissue profile , dental Class I occlusion with normal overbite- overjet relationship, Caucasian race and no previous orthodontic treatment.The right side profile records were taken in natural head position. The photographic records were analysed eith the software for Windows, Microsoft Visio 2000, Standard Edition.To obtain all angular measurements 10 landmarks were located on digitized images and all manual procedures wer done by the same operator. Four angles showed gender differences: nasofrontal, nasolabial, mentolabial and nasal tip angle. All the angles that presented gender dimorphism were wider in females: nasofrontal, nasolabial, mentolabial and nasal tip angle. The greatest variability was found for mentolabial angle with highest standard deviation. The nasolabial and mentolabial angles showed the highest method error (1.5-2.5 degrees). Gender differences were observed in four out of ten measurements and all angles were wider in females. A relatively high method error and large variability was found for the mentolabial angle. The given values can be used for the comparison of the subjects with malocclusion, indicating areas of the facial disharmony.
