Abstract
Background: The key to judging an individual's beauty is their proportionate connection between various craniofacial areas. Numerous studies have impressed with requirements to defend beauty criteria. In this assumption, however, the platitude is the difference in facial patterns among many ethnic groups worldwide. Therefore, it is not appropriate to generalize the face measurement norm.
Objectives: To compare the most aesthetically pleasing lower facial height with a complete denture as perceived by patients of different age, gender and educational status.
Methodology: This study was Cross-sectional analytical carried out at the Department of Prosthodontics, Sardar Begum Dental College, Peshawar, KPK. The duration of the current study was 6 months from March 2023 to August 2023. The sample size of this study consisted of 384 patients. After receiving a verbal explanation of the objectives of this research, each patient was then given a pre-designed answer form so that their responses could be recorded and organized. A written consent was taken from each patient before recording their perception. In a sitting position, a face picture of a model edentulous patient was captured using a Canon 70D camera. In the questionnaire, for the purpose of keeping a record, the patient's name, age, gender, and educational status were recorded. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: After performing the Chi-Square test, the results indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between the gender and lower facial height of the patients. This result indicates that lower facial height depends on the gender of the patients. The sample mean statistic shows that the lower facial height of female patients is slightly higher as compared to male patients.
Conclusion: Our study concludes that only gender has a statistically significant relation with the lower facial height of the patients, and marital status, educational level, and age groups of the patients have no statistically significant relation with the lower facial height of the patients.
