Brief description of study

We are working on a study that would investigate on the genetics behind differences in facial morphology (form and structure of facial features).

Detailed description of study

The primary objective is to investigate morphological variation between human facial structure using cone-beam computed tomography, 2D, and 3D images. The goal of this study is to assess facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) between the skull and the face to determine if soft tissue morphology, the externally visible characteristics of the face, can be predicted from stable anthropological skeletal landmarks because of the expected influence hard tissue morphology has on soft tissue morphology.

  • Gender: All

Exclusion Criteria
