Abstract:Knowledge of the normal dentofacial pattern of various ethnic groups in important for clinical and research purposes. The purpose of this study was to develop Steiner?s cephalometric standards for the Nepalese males and females and to compare them with Steiner?s Caucasian sample. The sample consisted of 50 males and 50 females. All subjects met the following criteria: 18 to 30 years of age; Class I molar relationship, complete set of permanent teeth except third molar, acceptable facial profile; no cross bite, no proximal caries or restoration, both parents should born in Nepal, no history of previous orthodontic treatment. The cephalograms were traced manually and the angular and linear measurements were recorded with a standard protractor. Eleven cephalometric measurements were analysed. Means and standard deviation for the Nepalese subjects were established. P-value was calculated for the overall group comparison, and statistical significance was determined at the 0.05 level of confidence. Comparisons between the Nepalese males and females indicated that there was no significant difference in skeletodental pattern. Comparisons between Nepalese and Caucasian indicated that Nepalese samples have slight protrusive maxilla, slightly more flat mandibular plane angle, a greater inclination of upper and lower incisors but almost similar interincisal angle. When the overall findings are evaluated, it could be concluded that in general, there is a great similarity in the overall facial morphology between the Caucasian and Nepalese populations. Orthodontics and oral surgeons will find the cephalometric values of help in the diagnosis and treatment planning of potential orhtognathic surgery patients. Cephalometry.
