ANCIENT

-

TIMES

Historically human form measurements.
1 - self portrayal in sculpture, drawing and
painting.
2 - relation of physique - health, temperament and
behavioral traits.


Paleolithic age some 35,000 years ago


The ancient Egyptians developed an intricate
quantitative system that defined the proportions of
the human body. It became the CANON.








OP denotes its
steepness/flatness
Increased angle: assess
skeletal open bite, lip
incompetence,increased
facial height,
retrognathia.
Decreased angle: assess
deep bite, decreased facial
height, lip redundancy.
