Mohammad Farhan Rashid Hamid, Salahuddin Azeemuddin | |
Background:Because of its tetrahedral shape, the width, height, and location of the tip of nose are essential data to estimate nasal profiles. The present study was conducted to evaluate the nasal morphological characteristics of a known population.Materials& Methods:The present study was conducted on 100 randomly selected persons aged 18-60 years. The standard spreading caliper with scale was used for the measurement of nasal parameters. The anthropometric measurements taken were nasal height, nasal breadth, and Nasal index. According to the nasal index, the nose was classified. The differences in mean values of nasal height, nasal breadth and nasal index were tested for statistical significance by independent sample t-test.Results:Nasal height, nasal breadth and nasal index of males was more than female. The result for Nasal height, nasal breadth and nasal index was statistically significant. Females had more leptorrhine type of nose than males. Males had more mesorrhine and platyrrhine type of nose than females. The difference for leptorrhine, mesorrhine and platyrrhine type of nose was statistically significant.Conclusion:The study concluded thatNasal height, nasal breadth and nasal index of males was more than female. Females had more leptorrhine type of nose than males. Males had more mesorrhine and platyrrhine type of nose than females. |
