Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Reduction gonioplasty is very popular in East Asia. However, there has been little quantitative criteria for mandibular angle classification or aesthetics. The aim of this study was to investigate the quantitative differences of mandibular angle types and determine the morphologic features of mandibular angle in attractive women. METHODS:We created a database of skull computed tomography and standardized frontal and lateral photographs of 96 Chinese female adults. Mandibular angle was classified into 3 groups, namely, extraversion, introversion, and healthy group, based on the position of gonion. We used a 5-point Likert scale to quantify attractiveness based on photographs. Those who scored 4 or higher were defined as attractive women. Three types of computed tomography measurements of the mandible were taken, including 4 distances, 4 angles, and 3 proportions. Discriminant analysis was applied to establish a mathematic model for mandibular angle aesthetics evaluation. RESULTS:Significant differences were observed between the different types of mandibular angle in lower facial width (Gol-Gor), mandibular angle (Co-Go-Me), and gonion divergence angle (Gol-Me-Gor) (P < 0.01). Chinese attractive women had a mandibular angle of 123.913 ± 2.989 degrees, a FH-MP of 27.033 ± 2.695 degrees, and a Go-Me/Co-Go index of 2.0. The "healthy" women had a mandibular angle of 116.402 ± 5.373 degrees, a FH-MP of 19.556 ± 5.999 degrees, and a Go-Me/Co-Go index of 1.6. The estimated Fisher linear discriminant function for the identification of attractive women was as follows: Y = -0.1516X1(Co-Go) + 0.128X2(Go-Me) + 0.04936X3(Co-Go-Me) +0.0218X4(FH-MP). CONCLUSIONS:Our study quantified the differences of mandibular angle types and identified the morphological features of mandibular angle in attractive Chinese female adults. Our results could assist plastic surgeons in presurgical designing of new aesthetic gonion and help to evaluate lower face aesthetics.
