Abstract

Introduction: This study was aimed to determine and compare soft tissue cephalometric norms between male and female population of Jaipur and compare them with Arnett’s soft tissue cephalometric norms with 50 males and 50 females which fall under selected inclusion criteria.
Materials and Methods: One hundred samples (50 males and 50 females) were selected on random basis with harmonious facial appearances, good functional occlusions and first permanent molars in Angle's class I relation. Samples selected for the study were of age group between 18 to 25 years. Measurements were recorded and subjected to statistical analysis.
Results: 1.Cephalometric norms using Arnett's Soft tissue Analysis were established formales and females of Jaipur population. 2. Soft tissue cephalometric values show Sexual dimorphism with all the soft tissue thicknesses and the facial lengths being greater in males indicating longer faces, long upper & lower lips for males and more prominent the midfacial region in Jaipur females compared to males with more protrusive mandibular dentition with a prominent chin.
