Facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) varies by sex and skeletal class. This study
Area of Science:
- Forensic Anthropology
- Forensic Science
- Forensic Art
Background:
- Facial soft tissue thickness (FSTT) is crucial for forensic identification when other methods fail.
- FSTT varies significantly based on individual characteristics like sex, age, race, and nutritional status.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate facial soft tissue thickness variations in Korean adults.
- To provide data for forensic facial reconstruction and forensic art research.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of facial soft tissue thickness across different skeletal classes (straight, concave, convex).
- Examination of gender and occlusion type influences on FSTT.
Main Results:
- Significant gender differences in FSTT were observed across all skeletal classes.
- Facial tissue thickness in Korean adults varied by gender and occlusion type.
Conclusions:
- Average FSTT data for different skeletal classes is essential for accurate facial restoration.
- The findings are valuable for forensic science, forensic art, anthropology, and dentistry.

Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
