Abstract
Objective: To study the prevalence of bimaxillary protrusion among Palestinians.
Materials and Methods: Cephalometric radiographs for 79 normal occlusion adult Palestinian
university students were traced.
Results: The interincisal angle was decreased in the Palestinian women compared to the Caucasian
means, but this had no impact on lip protrusion.
Conclusion: Relative to Caucasian cephalometric norms, Palestinians show no extraoral bimaxillary
protrusion features, and therefore, these norms can be applied to Palestinian faces.
