Association of Upper Lip Morphology Characteristics with Sagittal and Vertical Skeletal Patterns: A Cross Sectional Study

“…However, the statistically significant association only exists in women [ 37 ]. Likewise, Perovic et al have shown that upper lip thickness did not significantly differ dependently on vertical skeletal patterns, and that gender difference was established in this area [ 6 ]. Consistently in our study, upper lip thickness was not significantly different in three vertical skeletal pattern groups even after adjustment of all considered covariates including gender, indicating that the change in upper lip thickness was not dependent on vertical skeletal patterns.…”

“…Multiple variates have been proven to influence soft tissue morphology. Gender is one of the most often-mentioned variates, with multiple studies showing that male patients tend to have thicker soft tissue compared with females with the same skeletal patterns, but the significance of gender difference varies among different skeletal patterns [ 6 , 10 , 38 ]. Race, as abovementioned, is an important genetic factor influencing soft tissue responding to skeletal patterns [ 30 ].…”

“…For instance, a study on an Indonesian population found that the upper lip was generally deeper in Class III compared to Class II [ 5 ]. Similarly, it was shown that facial soft tissue thickness, especially in the chin area, varied among different vertical developmental patterns, which was smaller in hyperdivergent patterns [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…increase the variability of soft tissue morphology. For example, males are found to have thicker lower third facial soft tissue than female with the same skeletal patterns [ 6 , 10 ]. Moreover, dental characteristics, such as crowding, occlusal relationship, and incisor position, also play an influential role.…”

Evaluation of the correlations between the cephalo- and somatometric parameters and parameters of teleroentgenograms of the head in boys and girls of the Omsk city

“…Эстетика лица -один из важнейших факторов, который необходимо учитывать при ортодонтическом лечении [12]. Известно, что нарушение окклюзии зубов приводит к изменениям контура мягких тканях лица [16]. Кроме того, зубы оказывают влияние на развитие скелета головы [15].…”
