[Abstract]
[Objective]
One of the key components of anthropometric measurements and research is to understand facial anthropometry and human facial appearance, and to increase the effectiveness of treatment by prosthodontist,orthodontists, plastic surgeons, and orthognathic surgeons. To determine the index and shape of the face of Mongolians aged between 13-65.
[Methods]
From the first phase of the Mon-TimeLine project of the Brain and Mind Research Institute of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, 751 relatively healthy people aged between 13-65 were selected based on our selection criteria. Facial index were calculated using the following formula. Facial Index = Facial Length (n-gn) ×100 Facial Width (zy-zy). To measure the morphological parameters and digital slide calliper and scale were used.
[Results and discussion]
As for total participants, 70% of the participants are in the central region, 12.2% in the eastern region, 11.1% in khangai region, and 6.5% in the western region. The male participants have a leptoprosopic as a dominated facial shape. The female participants have hyperleptoprosopic as a dominated facial shape. The dominated facial shapes are presented in the followary regions as hyperleptoprosopic shape in Khangai region, mesoprosopic shape in Central region, hyperleptoprosopic shape in eastern and western regions. The facial index of males is 1.7% greater than females although results was not determined by age it has a significant statistical value. In regard of face shape of all participants, 23.3% of them had hyperleptoprosopic facial shape which was the most common facial shape and 16.9% of them had europrosopic facial shape which was the least common facial shape. In terms of khangai region, hyperleptoprosopic shape dominated as 46.4%, in the central region, mesoprosopic shape dominated as 23%. The hyperleptoprosopic shape was dominant as 45.7% in the eastern region, in the western region, hyperleptoprosopic shape was dominant as 51%.
