This study determined facial soft tissue norm for Urhobos adults by means of vertical and angular
measurements usually used for aesthetic treatment goals. In addition gender differences were tested.
Standardized photographic record of 120 (60 male, 6o females) Urhobos young adults between 18 and 35 years
were taken in the natural head position using a digital camera. The measurements of the vertical and angular
parameters were done with the aid of a ruler and protractor. The Urhobos males had a mean percent ratio of
42.27±3.71 for middle face and 57.73±3.63 lowers face. The mean values of nasofrontal angle was
117.75±9.07º, 40.77±6.29º for nasofacial angle, 121.95±7.93º for nasomental angle and 93.33±3.27 for
mentocervical angle. The females had a mean percent ratio of 43.51±3.66 for middle face height and
56.49±3.69 for lower face height. The nasofrontal angle was 127.859.50º, nasofacial angle 35.607.46º,
nasomental angle 126.55±6.93º and mentocervical angle 90.88±3.58º. There w as sexual dimorphism in all
measured parameters except the lower face. This study shows that as in other populations, vertical and angular
variable that defines the soft tissue profile are sexually dimorphic. In addition, the middle face of Urhobos is
lower that that of the Himachalis and North Americans.
Key words: Lower face, mentocervical, nasofacial, nasofrontal, nasomental, Urhobos,
