Abstrakt: Objective: This study was carried out to determine facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) of adults according to skeletal class and to detect whether there is a statistical difference. Methods: A total of 161 full-head images (74 females, 87 males) were used retrospectively in Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology between 2013-2017. Cephalometric analyzes were performed on a virtual cephologram with Planmeca ProMax 3D Max. FSTT measurements of the patients were measured by comparing them manually and digitally in gender and age groups. The data were compared in terms of the differences between the classes after the separation of the data according to the skeletal classes. Results: FSTT values of the males were found to be greater than those of the females. There was no significant difference in FSTT between the two sexes in glabella and nasion regions. When the values of FSTT were examined according to skeletal classes, in the skeletal Class 3 group, the values of FSTT in the pogonion area were statistically lower than Class' and 2 skeletal groups. In women with Class 2 jaw structure, FSTT in the pogonion region was found to be significantly greater than those of Class' and 3 females. Also, men with Class 2 jaw structure had significantly higher FSTT values in the labyrinth inferior region than those of class' and class3 males. Conclusion: It was shown that there are differences between the anatomical reference points on the face of the patients with jaw structures examined in 3 groups according to the skeletal class.
