Soft-hard tissue correlations and computer drawings for the frontal view.
Hard and soft tissue measurements were obtained for nine Caucasian women. Based on these measurements, regression formulas were derived to approximate the soft tissue covering based on hard tissue data. The results are presented iconically by computer drawings. The preliminary data presented would suggest a definite predictable influence exerted by the facial skeleton on the position of landmarks in the overlying soft tissue.
