Purpose: This investigation was undertaken on 800 young women (18-25 years old) to determine the head and face phenotypes among them in two aborigines of Sistani (Fars) and Baluchi who were residing in southeats of Iran.
Materials and methods: The current cross-sectional descriptive analytical study was performed on 800 normal young women 18-25 years old in two aborigines of Sistani (Fars) and Baluchi. Themorphological dimensions of head and face were measured with a scaled cephalometer and a sliding caliper Using the classical cephalometry .ephalic and prosopic indices were determined. The Chi-square and t-test were used to compare data.
Results: Means and standard deviation of cephalic indices were 78.4±4.15 and 81.94±4.99 and prosopic indices were 83.22±4.02 and 84.86±5.15 in Sistani and Baluchi subjects respectively. Based on the cephalic index, the dominant and rare head types in Sistani group was mesocephalic (4 1.3%) and hyperbrachycephalic (6%), and in BIachui group was brachicephalic (42%) and dolichochephalic(5.5%) respectively. Furthermore, according to the prosopic index, the dominant and rare face type among sistanis were euryprosopic type (50.8%) and hyperleptoprosopic (0.5%) and in Baluchi group were euryprosopic (37%) and hyperleptoprosopic (2.5%) respectively.
Conclusion: This research showed that differences in terms of head and face type indices between these two groups were statistically significant. Based on this cross-sectional study, it seems that there is differences between the aforementioned groups.
