Abstract: (886 Views)
Purpose: This study was done for determining of head dimensions and head shapes. The purpose of the present study was to determine head dimensions and shapes.
Materials and Methods: This discriptive and cross sectional study was conducted on normal 17-20 year-old native Fars and Turkman ethnic groups in Gorgan. Martin saler scalope was used to measure cephalic length and width, then cephalic index was conducted. Based on cephalic index, the cephalic form was classified as: Brachycephaly, Hyperbrachycephaly, Dolicocephaly and Mesocephaly.
Results: the mean (ISD) of cephalic index in Turkman group and native Fars were 80.4±4 and 84.8 ± 6.9 respectivly. Hyperbrachycephaly was dominant (52%) in native Fars whereas the brachycephaly was dominant (42.14%) in Turkman. Dolicocephaly was the least prevalen type in both groups.
Conclusion: This research indicated that there was a significant difference in head shapes between two groups. This may be due to possible effect of ethnis factor on the diversity of head shapes.
