Description

Parks et al. [5] measured 25 tissue depth locations defined by 14 mid-sagittal and 11 bilateral facial landmark pairs [23] on bone and soft tissue 3D models derived from CT scans of 388 living subjects in the U.S.A (Table 2). The CT database comprised both sexes and four ancestry groups, African female (n=50), African male (n=48), Asian female (n=48), Asian male (n=47), European female (n=49), European male (n=48), Hispanic female (n=49), and Hispanic male (n=49). Mean depths were compared to published datasets [24]. [5] C.L. Parks, A.H. Richard, K.L.
