CHARACTERISTICS OF SOFT TISSUE IN THE MAXILLOFACIAL REGION IN THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE AGED 18-25 ON LATERAL CEPHALOMETRY 2021-2022
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Understanding the characteristics and differences of soft tissue at different developmental stages and in different races will help clinicians to intervene appropriately at specific times, optimize patient performance as well as predict possible growth after the end of the configurator,in order to achieve a stable treatment result in terms of function and aesthetic satisfaction. Objectives: To examine the soft tissue characteristics of the maxillofacial region of Vietnamese people aged 18-25 years by measuring lateral cephalometric films. Materials and methods: Vietnamese students aged 18-25 years old at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 85 students of Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy. The students were taken with lateral and straight skull films according to the sampling criteria. Results: The study showed that the soft tissue characteristics of the Vietnamese student group were different from those of other races and found a statistically significant difference in the protrusion of the upper lip and the depth of the cleft lip and chin between men and women. The protrusion of the male lips (4.30±0.71) is greater than that of the female (3.88±0.97) and the depth of the chin lip groove of the male (-4.88±0.93) is also greater than that of the female (-4.24±0.93) with p<0.05. Conclusions: The soft tissue characteristics of Vietnamese students are different from those of other races. These differences need to be considered when planning diagnosis and treatment of maxillofacial surgery for Vietnamese people of old age. 18-25
