[Lateral cephalometry in Chinese population with esthetic face].
According to selections of both the public and the orthognathic surgeons, 100 lateral cephalograms were taken on the male and the female young adults with esthetic face and normal occlusion. Each X-Y coordinate value of 18 landmarks, 10 angular and 10 linear measurements, and 5 linear ratios were analysed. The features of the craniofacial structure of the hard tissue profile in the Chinese group with esthetic face were emphasized as follows. 1. The craniofacial structure of the esthetic group presents its typicality, which is accord with the basic principles of esthetics. 2. Great individual variation was found in the lower third of the face. 3. The profile patterns of the lower third face in the esthetic group become well-developed and chubby convexity which looks relatively straight. 4. The differences exist in the craniofacial skeleton structure between male and female.
