Objective: To determine the mean lip thickness in different skeletal malocclusions in local population.
Material and Methods: A total of 190 consecutive patients cephalograms in age group 18-30 years were included. Patient with normodivergent, skeletal class I, II, and III assessed on basis of ANB and Wits appraisal. Age, gender, ANB, Wits appraisal, upper and lower lip thickness from cephalograms were measured and were noted in the attached proforma.
Results: The mean age in this study was 20±2.72 years. Out of total 190 patients, 107 were females and 83 males. The mean upper lip thickness was 10.54 mm and lower lip thickness was 11.30 mm. Skeletal Class III patients had thicker lips than other skeletal classes. Females had more thickened lips than males in this study.
Conclusions: Females had more thick lips than males. Lip thickness by gender and skeletal class of malocclusion showed that females and skeletal class III had more lip thickness. In orthodontic treatment of patients having skeletal class III and female gender need special precautions in incisor retraction to maintain balanced profile.
