Imaging analysis of cone beam computed tomography for present Egyptians facial soft tissue thicknesses

One of the popular techniques in forensic anthropology, known as "facial approximation" or "craniofacial reconstruction," models the appearance of the face from the skeletal remains. The average facial soft tissue thicknesses (FSTTs) with regard to sex and population affinity are necessary for a successful craniofacial reconstruction. The focus of this study is on the existence of sex-related changes in facial soft tissue composition. It offers the first data on FSTTs for the living Egyptian population utilizing cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and also enriches the published FSTTs data for the Egyptian population, which could offer more accurate cranial reconstruction. Sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) were considered. From the repository, 10 adult males and 10 adult females were chosen from the repository according to a careful selection criteria.
