COCIOS ARPI, Janina Fernanda et al. Cephalometric correlation of the chin and mandibular body in young Andean adults, year 2019. Dilemas contemp. educ. política valores [online]. 2021, vol.8, n.spe3, 00056.  Epub 30-Ago-2021. ISSN 2007-7890.  https://doi.org/10.46377/dilemas.v8i.2738.

Facial aureus proportions are enigmatic and are subjectively conditioned to the modifications of the lower third, due to the fact that the adequate position of the soft tissues and the chin allow the functional, aesthetic, and biological balance; therefore, the objective of this research was to know the possible cephalometric correlation of the chin and mandibular body. A quantitative correlational study was carried out with a non-experimental documentary-retrospective design, the sample consisted of 384 lateral skull radiographs in young Andean adults. The results allow estimating a positive statistical correlation between chin and mandibular body; therefore, it is possible to conclude that the size of the chin is directly proportional to the size of the mandibular body in young Andean adults.
