The objective of this study was to determine the gender difference in the craniofacial relationship of skeletal, dental and soft tissue components in the youth of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The population of the study consisted of students of Khyber College of Dentistry (KCD) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The study sample consisted of 50 lateral cephalometric x-rays of KCD students having age range 18-25 years. The lateral cephalograms of 25 males and 25 females were analyzed by two assessors using independent t sample test in SPSS version 19. The results showed gender differences in some variables. When assessed for length of maxilla, mandible and cranial base, females were observed to have smaller linear measurement in comparison to males. In male group, increased posterior facial height and decreased gonial angle values were observed which point out towards the solid and broader mandible in comparison to slender one in females. Concluding the gender difference in this study, the males were found to have greater linear (sagittal and vertical) values as compared to females, with slightly more prominent upper lip in female population.
