Comparison of Facial Heights Between Iraqi Arab and Kurdish

Abstract

Aims: To investigate for any difference in facial height measurements between Iraqi Arabs and Kurds adolescents. Materials and Methods: lateral cephalometric radiographs Of 42Arabic adolescents in Mosul city and 43 Kurdish adolescents in Arbil city were assessed for anterior and posterior facial height measurements. Results: No significant difference was found in facial height measurements between Arabic males and females. In Kurds, males showed significantly higher facial measurements than females. Kurdish adolescents had significantly greater facial height measurements than Arabic counterparts. Conclusions: Our results revealed that there is an overall difference in the facial height measurements between Arabic and Kurdish Iraqi adolescents.

Cephalometric Measurements and Morphological Evaluation for Head and face of an Iraqis adult for cephalic x-ray

“…The x-ray images used in this study were taken from orthodontics clinics located in different parts of Baghdad city. The Cephalometric measurement of Jarabak's analysis is illustrated in Figure (10). In this study, the region of head in images of X-rays was identified, with known x-y coordinates for five points having all the features needed in the calculations.…”

“…The values of the variables can be practically anything; real or integer numbers, Boolean values or strings, for example. The actual model is the set of functions that describe the relations between the different variables [10].…”

“…To find the angles we apply the following equation (9,10,11,12), where Tm just the name of the variable, And Dis symbolizes the value of distances. 9.…”
