Study of the correlation between the linear measurements of the skull and face and palatal wide and length measures.

Objective: To analyze the relation between the anthropometric linear measurements of the skull and face and the measurements of width and length of the hard palate.

Methods: Twenty-three human skulls were used, and the measurements were collected with the help of a caliper and pelvimeter. The following linear measurements were studied: maximum cranial length, biporion distance, maximum face width, nasal height, palatal length, and palatal width.
