Abstract

Objectives:This study was conducted to determine the relationship of soft tissue nasal parameters with the vertical skeletal parameters.
Materials & Methods:The sample included the lateral cephalometric radiographs of 138 patients. The lateral Cephalograms were imported and analyzed using Viewbox 4Software. Patients with no previous history of trauma, surgical intervention, congenital disease or orthodontic treatment were included in the study. Six skeletal parameters of vertical facial growth and six nasal
parameters were measured.
Results:The nasal parameters showed a weak correlation with the vertical skeletal parameters. Nasal length showed strong correlation with the facial heights; anterior as well as posterior i.e. S-Go(r=0.747), N-Me(r=0.865), N- ANS(r=0.862),LAFH(r=0.776), p<0.005 respectively. Nasal depth showed the similar results i.e. S -Go(r=0.691), N-Me(r=0.733), N ANS(r=0.733), LAFH(r=0.660), p<0.005 respectively. The upturn of the nose was not found to be correlated to the inclination of the palatal plane (r=-0.108), P=0.666.
Conclusion:Nasal length and depth were found to be strongly correlated with facial height. All the rest of the variables were poorly correlated with skeletal parameters.
