Abstract

This chapter presents a comprehensive review of craniofacial morphometric highlights and examines gender dimorphism in Saudi Arabia. Ethnicity, hard tissue, soft tissue, and dental features are important features to be considered, particularly in orthodontic and orthognathic medical procedures. Lateral cephalometric radiographs for craniofacial and dental investigation provide insights on skeletal structure connections and connections between skeletal structures with the teeth and facial soft tissue structures. The lateral cephalometric radiographs help orthodontists to focus on current facial structures and anticipate future facial development when arranging a treatment plan for the patient. Diverse assortments of cephalometric examination provide total craniofacial morphometric data whereby it incorporates hard tissue, soft tissue, and dental structures according to racial classifications.
