OBJECTIVE: In the study; it is aimed to obtain soft tissue parameters of young adult individuals, which are liked by the society, instead of the concept of normal used in the orthodontic literature, which can help diagnosis and treatment planning.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: In the study; profile and frontal photographs of 88 women and 61 men, aged between 20-31, who had no facial asymmetry and no trauma history, were used. Profile and frontal photographs of the participants were turned into a survey via Google forms; it was presented to the panel that included 4 orthodontists, 4 dentists, 4 plastic surgeons, 4 architects and 4 non-professional individuals. Panelists were asked to rate the photographs on a scale of 1-10. As a result of scoring; while 13 individuals with 7 points or more formed the attractive group, 13 individuals with 3 points or less formed the unattractive group. Angular measurements, vertical and horizontal distances were measured and compared to each other on 26 individuals. According to the scoring results, male individuals were excluded from the study because the number of males constituting the attractive group was insufficient. Normal distribution of data was evaluated statistically by Shapiro-Wilk test, and inter-group comparison was evaluated using Mann Whitney U-test (p<0.05).
RESULTS: As a result of the frontal analysis; while the ratios of face width to face height, alar wing width to nasal height and bigonial width to mouth width were statistically higher in attractive individuals; the ratio of intercanthal width to facial width was found to be lower (p<0.05). As a result of profile analysis; while total vertical angle, nasal angle, middle and lower facial triad angles were found to be statistically lower in attractive individuals; facial convexity angle was higher (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Vertical growth pattern of the face, nasal tip position, facial convexity and harmony in the vertical and transversal ratios of the face are among the factors that determine facial attractiveness in women.

AMAÇ: Yapılan çalışmada; teşhis ve tedavi planlamasına yardımcı olabilecek, ortodonti literatüründe faydalanılan normal kavramı yerine, toplum tarafından beğenilen genç erişkin bireylere ait yumuşak doku parametrelerinin elde edilmesi hedeflenmektedir.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmada; yüz bölgesinde asimetri ve travma hikayesi olmayan, 20-31 yaş aralığında 88 kadın ve 61 erkeğe ait profil ve cephe fotoğrafları kullanıldı. Katılımcıların profil ve cephe fotoğrafları Google formlar üzerinden anket haline getirilerek; 4 ortodontist, 4 diş hekimi, 4 plastik cerrah, 4 mimar ve 4 meslek dışı bireylerin bulunduğu panele sunuldu. Panelistlerden, fotoğrafları 1-10 arasında puanlamaları istendi. Puanlama sonucuna göre; 7 ve üzeri 13 birey çekici grubu oluştururken, 3 ve altı 13 birey çekici bulunmayan grubu oluşturdu. Çekici bulunan ve bulunmayan gruplardaki 26 bireyin açısal ölçümleri yapıldı, vertikal ve horizontal mesafeler ölçülerek birbirlerine oranlandı. Puanlama sonucuna göre, çekici grubu oluşturan erkek sayısı yetersiz olduğu için erkek bireyler çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Verilerin normal dağılımı Shapiro-Wilk testi ile, gruplar arası karşılaştırma ise Mann Whitney U-testi kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi (p<0.05).
BULGULAR: Cephe analizi sonucunda; yüz genişliğinin yüz yüksekliğine oranı, alar kanat genişliğinin nazal yüksekliğe oranı ve bigonial genişliğin ağız genişliğine oranı çekici bireylerde istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek bulunurken; interkantal genişliğin yüz genişliğine oranı daha düşük bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Profil analizi sonucunda; total vertikal açı, nazal açı, orta ve alt fasiyal üçlü açıları çekici bireylerde istatistiksel olarak daha düşük bulunurken; fasiyal konveksite açısı daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.05).
SONUÇ: Yüzün vertikal büyüme paterni, burun ucu pozisyonu, yüz konveksitesi ve yüze ait vertikal ve transversal oranlardaki uyum kadınlarda yüz çekiciliğini belirleyen faktörler arasındadır.
