Eachindividual was subjected to clinical examination and digital true lateral cephalometricradiograph in the natural head position. The radiographs were analyzed usingAutoCAD 2007. Descriptive statistics was obtained for the variables for both genders;independent samples t-test was performed to evaluate the genders difference.The mean values of the facial, maxillo-facial, naso-maxillary, maxillary and totalvertical angles are nearly similar in both genders with a non-significant difference.There is slight increase in the nasal angle in females and mandibular angle in maleswith a significant and highly significant genders difference respectively.Both genders showed proportional faces, although there is slight increase in thenasal angle in females and mandibular angle in males.
