Abstract

This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted to compare the characteristics of soft tissue on lateral cephalometric radiographs among students with Class I and Class III malocclusion groups at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy – Vietnam National University, Hanoi 97 subjects were selected according to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria And underwent clinical examination and lateral cephalometric radiography. Soft tissue parameters were measured using Webceph software, and data were analyzed with SPSS 20.0. The results and conclusion indicated that in male participants, indicators such as the soft tissue facial convexity angle, nasolabial angle, upper lip thickness at point AA', and chin soft tissue thickness were significantly higher in the Class III group compared to the Class I group. In contrast, most of these indicators showed no significant difference between the two occlusion types in female participants. Analyzing and comparing soft tissue parameters across different malocclusion types can support facial aesthetic assessment and improve orthodontic treatment planning.
