“…In their study, Swlerenga et al [36] found that Mexican American males and females have greater mandibular incisor proclination than black American or white children, and that maxillary incisor inclination of Mexican American women is more retroclined than that of black or white women. Miyajima et al [25] found mandibular dentoalveolar protrusion in the Japanese men compared with European-American adults.…”

“…Orthodontic treatment is best when the facial and cephalometric characteristics of the ethnic background of patients are considered [4,5]. The orthodontic literature contains many studies involving cephalometric and profile standards of Caucasian and European-American [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], AfricanAmerican [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], Japanese [25][26][27][28][29], Chinese [30][31][32][33], Polish [34], Filipinos [35], Mexican-Americans [36], Korean [37,38], Turkish populations [39][40][41][42], Indians [43], Brazilians [44], and Puerto Rican Americans [45], but little published data for Arabs [46][47][48][49]…”

Introduction: European-American norms are still used in the orthodontic treatment of Emirates patients despite the different ethnic backgrounds of the Emirates. The purpose of this study was to formulate cephalometric norms for lateral cephalometric measurements of Emirates adults and to study gender differences. Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 176 Emirates adults, 91 males and 85 females, were selected according to the following criteria; an age range between 19 to 25 years, esthetically pleasing and harmonious faces with balanced and acceptable profiles and occlusions, normal skeletal and dental relationship, all permanent teeth present, and no history of orthodontic treatment or facial trauma. The mean values and standard deviations of 91 angular and 21 linear cephalometric variables were calculated using the Dolphin version 10.5 software package. The resulting norms for Emirates male and female groups were compared using a student t-test. Results: Several statistically significant gender differences were noticeable. Skeletally, Emirates males showed significantly greater (p < 0.001) total, anterior, and posterior cranial base lengths as well as longer facial heights, greater SGn-FH (˚), ANS Xi PM (˚), and FH/MP (˚) angles than females. In addition, Emirates males had significantly greater (p < 0.001) Co-A (mm), Co-Gn (mm), and significantly greater (p < 0.05) Pog-N vert (mm) than females. Dentally, Emirates males had significantly greater (p < 0.05) UI-SN (˚) and U1-NA (˚), U1-NA (mm), and L1-NB (mm) (p < 0.001) than females. For soft tissue measurements there were significant gender differences (p < 0.001) for all angular and linear measurements except for lower lip to E-plane and nose prominence measurements which have no significant gender difference. Emirates males revealed greater measurements than females except for soft tissue convexity, Z-angle, and both upper and lower lips protrusion which were significantly greater in Emirates females. Conclusions: The use of specific cephalometric standards for Emirates adults, separate for gender, seems to be justified. It is appropriate to put these cephalometric norms into daily orthodontic practice when Emirates adults are being treated.

“…Several attempts have been made to investigate the differences in the faces of various ethnic groups including Caucasian, 5 Mexican American, 6 Chinese, [7][8][9] Japanese, 9-13 Korean, 14,15 Puerto Rican, 16 and Turkish. 17 In the literature, very few studies have been carried out to determine soft tissue cephalometric norms for Persians.…”

“…Since machine Porion deviates from anatomic Porion by 10 mm, anatomic Porion was used in this study. 16 Sexual dimorphism was observed in previous studies when male and female subjects within Chinese, 17 Mexican Americans, 18 and Japanese 19 were compared. Significant gender difference observed within the adult Brahmin groups of Kathmandu indicated sexual dimorphism.…”

Introduction: Appropriate comparison of an individual’s craniofacial structure can be made when evaluated relative to his/her comparable peer group. However, McNamara’s Caucasian norms are being used for adult Brahmins cephalometric analysis.Objective: To determine cephalometric norms using McNamara’s analysis in adult Brahmins of Kathmandu and to compare the values within the group and with Caucasians. Materials & Method: Screening of 850 individuals aged 18-27 years was performed. Inclusion criteria were Angle’s Class I molar and canine relation with normal overjet and overbite, symmetric face with acceptable profile, without craniofacial abnormalities, orthodontic/surgical treatment in the past and without proximal caries or prosthesis. Lateral digital cephalometric radiographs of 41 selected adult Brahmins of Kathmandu (23 males and 18 females) were manually traced. Comparative test was conducted within adult Brahmins of Kathmandu and with Caucasian group at significance level p≤0.05.Result: Adult male Brahmins of Kathmandu were found to have larger craniofacial measurements: Effective Mandibular Length (p≤0.001), Maxillo-mandibular Differential (p≤0.05) and Lower Anterior Facial Height (p≤0.01) than adult female Brahmins of Kathmandu. Adult Brahmins were found to have smaller craniofacial measurements compared to Caucasians.Conclusion: Gender and ethnic diversity must be considered during orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning for an individual.
