Abstrakt: Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the cephalometric hard and soft tissue cephalometric for orthognathic surgery (COGS) norms for East Indian subjects and to compare with the Caucasians. Materials and Methods: 200 adults of East Indian population (100 males and 100 females), with an age range of 18-30 years were selected for the study. The subjects included had well-balanced pleasing facial profile, no craniofacial abnormality, Angle's Class I molar relationship on both sides with minimum to moderate anterior crowding, and no previous history of orthodontic treatment. The COGS analysis values for the East Indian population was established and compared with the Caucasians. Results: All the cephalometric parameters except the anterior cranial base, facial convexity angle, maxillary protrusion, lower anterior face height, upper posterior dental height, chin depth; maxillary length, and mandibular body length were comparable among both the groups. The COGS soft tissue parameters such as the mandibular prognathism, upper lip protrusion, and lower lip protrusion were higher in the East Indian subjects as compared to the Caucasians. Conclusion: The cephalometric parameters in the East Indian population are significantly different than those of the Caucasian population. These racial differences which are evident in this study should be kept in mind while charting out plan for orthognathic surgery for the East Indian population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
