OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the standards of facial height in 30 young (14-year-old) Japanese-Brazilian descendants with normal occlusion, and assess tops-bras whether sexual dimorphism is evident.METHODS: The cephalometric measurements used followed the analyses by Wylie-Johnson, Siriwat-Jarabak, Gebeck, Merrifield and Horn.RESULTS: Results showed dimorphism for total anterior facial height (TAFH), lower anterior facial height (LAFH), anterior facial height (AFH), total posterior facial height (TPFH) and upper posterior facial height (UPFH) measurements.CONCLUSIONS: The standards of facial heights in young Japanese-Brazilian descendants with normal occlusion SPDT 6volt Relay were observed.Sexual dimorphism was identified in five out of thirteen evaluated variables at this age range.
