“…4 According to our results, the mean length of the nasal bone is longer Previously, direct nasal inspection and X-ray cephalometric analysis were used for nasal bone measurements. 7,8 Cadaver studies that are used for measurements are objective but are not useful to determine normal ranges because of the small sample size. CT can be used to evaluate the bony nasal pyramid objectively with a larger sample size and to provide detailed anatomical information valuable for surgical planning.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the nasal bone and bony nasal pyramid in adult Anatolian people. Method: A total of 80 patients (48 males, 32 females, mean age of 40.03 years) were all evaluated using CT. Upper, intermediate and inferior thickness of the nasal bone on each side and on the lateral and medial osteotomy line were measured. In addition, nasal bone length and pyriform aperture width were determined. Conclusion:The dimensions of the nasal pyramid are known to be important in the selection of appropriate osteotome. Our results can be used for pre-operative evaluation of Anatolian people undergoing nasal surgery.

“…Previous researchers reported that lateral cephalometric analysis has the advantage of simultaneously imaging the soft-tissue profile and facial skeleton. [1112131415] The aim of this study was to carry out anterior face measurements to establish biological values for Anterior upper face height (AUFH), Anterior lower face height (ALFH), Anterior lower face height (ALFH) and Anterior total face height (ATFH).…”

Background:Withan increasing demand in the number of patients seeking orthodontictreatment at the Orthodontic unit of University of Benin teaching hospital it becomes imperative to provide normative values for anterior face heights. These values will then form a basis for clinical diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluation of facial proportions following orthodontic treatments.Aim:The aim of this study was to measure anterior face height proportions of school children in Benin City.Subjects and Methods:One hundred Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 12-15 years old school children, in Benin City were taken to establish anterior face height values. Manual tracings of the cephalograms were carried out and the linear measurements were recorded, summarized, and statistically analyzed using the Microsoft Excel Programme 2000. The comparative test was conducted using the Student's t-test to demonstrate any statistically significant difference between the values for the males and females, at 95% confidence level P < 0.05, was regarded as significant.Result:Out of the 100 subjects who participated in the study, there were 40 males 40% (40/100) and 60 females 60% (60/100), with a mean age of 12.2 years. Following a combined data analysis for both males and females, the mean biological values obtained for the parameters investigated are; Anterior Lower Face Height (ALFH) 60.9 (5) mm, Anterior Upper Face Height 47.7 (4) mm, Anterior Total Face Height (ATFH) 108.5 (5) mm, ratio of ALFH to ATFH ALFH: ATFH 56 (4)%.Conclusion:This study provides anterior face height measurements, which will be of great significance in evaluating facial proportions andesthetics in orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, and prosthetic dentistry.

“…Of course, cephalo-metrics, which relies on standardized measurements of plain lateral x-ray films, have also been used for this purpose. 1 Technology for computer-assisted review of radiographs for cephalometric analysis has also been developed. 3 In our study, archived CT data were reviewed on a computer workstation for image analysis.…”

“…Direct clinical examination provides critical information, but this approach suffers from a lack of standardization. Therefore, other strategies, including plain x-ray cephalometrics, 1 have been introduced. Also, numerous mathematical formulas that relate physical measurements of specific anatomic features have been proposed.…”

This brief report presents a new paradigm for the assessment of the bony nasal pyramid. Additional normative data are necessary. This information has important implications for rhinoplasty instrument design, surgical planning, and aesthetic assessment. It is likely that computer-enabled review of archived computed tomographic images for maxillofacial assessment will become increasingly accepted. Of course, further modifications of computer technology and its specific applications are expected.
