Abstract :

Aim.To evaluate 1) facial profile preferences of different groups of subjects in general population like children, adolescents, dental students, artists and orthodontists and 2) to compare facial profiles between male and female subjects in different sample groups. Materials and methods. Photographs of 1 male and 1 female ideal subject were taken using a Canon DSLR 1100 D Camera with a Canon 100 mm f 2.8mm 1:1 macro lens. Eight profiles were simulated using Dolphin digital imaging software version 11.5.04.32 (Chatsworth, CA, USA). Five groups of raters were asked to evaluate the profiles for the most attractive (rated as 1) and the least attractive (rated as 8). Results.Straight profile was most preferred by male and female raters followed by bimaxillary retrusion. Least preferred profiles were retrognathic maxilla with prognathic mandible and prognathic posteriorly rotated mandible with anterior open bite.
