Abstract
Objective This study was aimed to find means, ratios and the relations of orbital and perioral measurements in a group of Thai randomized population. Materials and methods In this study 117 Thai samples (71 females and 46 males) were measured as followed, A: interpupillary distance, B: distance between medial canthi, C: distance between lateral canthi, D: vertical difference between medial and lateral canthi, E: alar base width, F: rest lip width, G: relation between lip and limbus, and H: means of maxillary central incisors width. Means and ratios were calculated. Analytic statistics in T-test, One-Way ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient at level of significance .05 were used to compare the means between gender, among descendant and the relationship of the measurements, respectively. Results Means of the distances were A = 62.19±4.96 mm, B = 36.03±3.08 mm, C = 94.35±5.09 mm, D = 4.17±1.45 mm, E = 39.56±3.02 mm, F = 50.16±4.25 mm, G = 2.42±1.75 mm, and H = 8.58±0.50 mm. The ratios were calculated. Between gender, there were statistically significant difference in A, B, C, E and F. Among descendant, there was no statistically significant difference. The relations of orbital and perioral measurements had low correlation. Conclusions Our results offered the guidelines for surgical correction of facial deformities in Thai patients. Furthermore, we could estimate the size of maxillary central incisors from the means and ratios of perioral and orbital measurements in edentulous patients.
