Facial Analysis Flashcards
Minimum amount of photos?

- 5 introral
What landmarks are used for asymmetry assessment? (3)
- Glabella
- midpoint of chin
- BOTH infraorbitary points
Why is a tongue depressor useful for facial analysis?
to evaluate occlusal plane
Rule of fifths: where do we draw the lines? (2)
- Ears
- internal and external aspect of each eye
Rule of thirds: where do we draw the lines? (2)
- ears
- lip comissures
Arnett & Bergman facial proportions: Where do we draw the lines? (4)
(Horizontal)
- Trichion (hair line)
- Glabela (Above and between eyebrows)
- Subnasal
- Menton
Arnett & Bergman facial proportions: Class II, Class III?
Depends on inferior 1/3
- Class II - increased
- Class III - decreased
Inferior 1/3 facial analysis: Where do we draw lines? why? (4)
- Subnasal
- Stomion (superior & inferior)
- Menton
*can measure the buccal opening

- Mesfofacial
Cranial index classification: What do we measure? (4)
H-Me / bizygomatic ratio:
- 1.3 women
- 1.35 men
Bigonial 30% < Bizygomatic
What is H-Me
Trichion to menton (vertical)
Define mesocephalic: (2)
- Falls between brachycephalic and dolicocephalic types
- Avg cranial width
Define mesofacial:
well balanced facial features
Mesocephalic values? (3)
H/Me ratio = 1.30 or 1.35
SN.GoGn = 32º
SNGn =66º
Mesocephalic horizontal and vertical dimensions?
Equilibrium between both

Meofacial Morphotype: arch?
parabolic
Meofacial Morphotype: teeth?
square
Define Brachycephalic: (3)
- Larger cranial width
- broad square head shape
