Sažetak
This study was carried out on 40 lateral cephalograms of Croatian subjects aged 12 to 15 years with dental and skeletal
class I. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the means and standard deviations of the soft tissue parameters
in the sample of Croatian population exhibiting dental and skeletal class I and to find the correlations between investigated
parameters. The investigation included a total of 11 variables of which 4 were angular and 7 linear. Linear
and angular measurements were made to the nearest 0.5 mm or 0.5° with dial calipers and a standard protractor with
0.5° increments. Data from this investigation could serve to determine the norms of 11 soft tissue variables for Croatian
population with dental and skeletal class I, and to define craniofacial morphology of the soft tissue profile in patients
with normal occlusion. Significant correlations were found between thickness of upper and lower lip, and between the
distance of upper and lower lip to the Ricketts esthetic line, and Holdaway angle.
