Diferenciación del análisis de Bjork Jarabak en perfiles faciales atractivos en individuos adultos.

Abstract

The concept of an attractive facial profile holds significant relevance in society. Presently, various cephalometric methods are employed to assess changes and variations in facial structure. This constitutes a critical clinical diagnosis and an indispensable tool, recognizing that the standard of facial beauty varies across different individuals, contexts, and eras. Objective: To differentiate the Bjork Jarabak analysis in attractive facial profiles based on lateral cephalic skull radiographs of adult individuals. Methodology: An observational, documentary study with a quantitative approach was conducted on digitally formatted lateral cephalic skull radiographs previously delineated using AutoCAD 2020 software. Specifically, radiographs meeting the selection criteria were compared with the standards outlined by author Bjork Jarabak. Subsequently, the normal distribution of quantitative data was assessed using the Wilcoxon rank test and the one- sample Student t-test. Results: Among the total participants, only 23 were considered to have attractive profiles. Of these, 78.3% (n=18) were women, while 21.7% (n=5) were men. Conclusion: The attractive participants exhibited orthognathic profiles, characterized by enhanced chin projection, greater length of the mandibular body, and a reduction in posterior vertical height, resulting in an anterior rotation of the mandible. These observations should be considered in future cephalometric analyses.
