Objective: To determine the morphofacial characteristics of soft tissues in a population of students of the Santo Tomas University for the year 2004-2005.
Materials and methods: The observational cross sectional study was done, taking a sample of 85 young adults. The sociodemographic variables were included, facial horizontal measures as wide zygomatic, wide gonial, distances interalar; facial vertical measures as facial height, superior and inferior half and angular measures of profile like angle, nasolabial angle and convexity. The measures were done directly in the patient and in their pictures. They were coded and they systematized in format EPI-INFO 6.04. The information was analyzed by means of the software STATA 6.0, with the t of student of homogeneous variances and the analysis of variance of a factor to compare more than two groups, with a level of inferior significance at 0.05.
Results: A stocking corresponding to the zygomatic wide, gonial wide, facial height, subnasal-stomion1 and stomion2-chin, were observed bigger in the men than in the women with statistical significance (p<0,0000); however a contrary behavior was observed in stomion1-stomion2 where was bigger in the women than in the men with a statistical significance of (p <0.0068).
Conclusion: Exists a marked dimorphism in this population in most of the measurements. Therefore, it will be important to use these averages for the measures as wide zygomatic, gonial, buccal, nasal base, facial height and frontonasal angle frontonasal.
