| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to evaluate the facial proportion in a sample of Iraqi adults using Peck and Peck analysis and to verify the presence of genders differences. 60 Arab adult subjects (30 males and 30 females) having normal skeletal and dental relation and acceptable facial profile were chosen for this study. Each individual was subjected to clinical examination and digital true lateral cephalometric radiograph in the natural head position. The radiographs were analyzed using AutoCAD 2007. Descriptive statistics was obtained for the variables for both genders; independent samples t-test was performed to evaluate the genders difference. The mean values of the facial, maxillo-facial, naso-maxillary, maxillary and total vertical angles are nearly similar in both genders with a non-significant difference. There is slight increase in the nasal angle in females and mandibular angle in males with a significant and highly significant genders difference respectively. Both genders showed proportional faces, although there is slight increase in the nasal angle in females and mandibular angle in males. | ||
