Materials And Methods
In this descriptive-analytic study, the facial movements of sixty normal subjects (30 females and 30 males) were photographed. Displacement of facial movements in specific landmarks was measured by Photoshop software. The collected data then were analyzed by SPSS software.Results
The mean displacement of forehead wrinkles and landmarks on cheeks in right and left sides was respectively 10.6 mm, 10.1 mm and 9.4 mm, 9.7 mm. The mean displacement of oral commissure in right and left sides during smile was 11.8 mm and 11.5 mm. The comparison showed no significant difference between both sides (P>0.05). The mean distance between landmarks (lateral canthus, oral commissure and Cheek) and axis of face were compared too. The results showed that both sides were symmetric.Conclusion
