| Popis: | II. Methods The procedure of measuring the lip-nose complex was explained to each individual resulting in the accurate measurements due to lack of anxiety on the part of individual. The morphometry was done on 100 adults (age range: 18-45 yrs). Among them 44 were males and 56 were females. The parameters like vertical lip height, cupids bow width, total width of the mouth, columellar height, columellar width, nasal width and dome height were measured. The measurements were repeatedly taken for each individual to ensure the accuracy. The points of lip-nose complex were marked using marking pen (Fig. 1) and the linear measurements were taken using digital vernier caliper. The vertical height of the lip was from the columellar base to cupids bow peak. This parameter was chosen against base of columella to tubercle since it has significance in cleft lip surgery. The cupids bow width was measured from philtrum peak to peak. The total width of mouth was the commissure to commissure distance. |
