Introduction: The nasolabial morphology of healthy babies is a meaningful reference for cleft lip surgery. However, little attention has been paid to the literature in this regard. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the morphology of the nasolabial region of two- and four-month-old healthy infants in Sari.
Materials and Methods: During this descriptive-analytical study, 97 two- and four-month-old Mazandarani infants were examined. The babies were healthy and free of anomalies in terms of maxillofacial anatomy. Lateral and submental images were prepared, and the following parameters were measured using Photoshop software: length of the nose, columella, lip, alar curvature (AC), Sbal points, as well as nasal tip protrusion. A significance level of α = 0.05 was used for all analyses, which included independent t-tests and chi-square tests.
Results: The widths of the AC points, right and left half lips, and the nose length in four-month-old babies were significantly higher than those of two-month-old babies (p value < 0.05). The right and left half widths lips were significantly greater than two months in four-month-old boys (p value < 0.05). Furthermore, the widths of the AC points in four-month-old girls were substantially more significant than in two-month-old girls (p value > 0.05). Only columella width was significantly greater in boys than in girls (p value < 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study can be used as a suitable reference for cleft lip surgeries and reduce the patients’ need for multiple surgeries in the future.
