101 Correlations of palatal surface area with anthropometric dimensions Table 1. Definitions of anthropometric measurements in the present study. Anthropometric measurements Anthropometric landmark Length of the head Vertex - gnathion Width of the head Straight line distance as measured with sliding caliper between the right external auditory meatus and left external auditory meatus Depth of the head Straight line distance as measured with a sliding caliper between back of the head and glabella Face height Glabella - gnathion Lower face height Subnasale - gnathion Nose height Glabella - subnasale Width of the mouth Right chelion - left chelion Upper face height Glabella - lowest border of the upper lip Upper lip height Subnasale - lowest border of the upper lip Mandible height Gnathion - highest border lower lip Mandibular length Straight line distance as measured with a sliding caliper between the tragus and gnathion Palatal width Straight line distance from the central fissure of the upper right first molar (16) to the central fissure of the left first molar (26), if one or both teeth were extracted then the distance from the alveolar ridges of the estimated location of the first molars was used. 5
