Özet
Aim: We aimed to provide a source of information that could contribute to the determination of normal values in our countryand to reveal possible variations by comparing our results with the literature.Material and Method: Our study was carried out on 60 skulls of unknown gender and age found in the Laboratory of theDepartment of Anatomy. Measurements were made directly on the skull using an inelastic and soft measuring tape, HoltainHarpenden anthropometric set, and a digital sliding caliper (Mitutoyo). In our study, using direct anthropometric measurementtechniques, the measurements of the head and face regions were taken by a single researcher three times and their averageswere calculated. 19 anthropometric points were determined and used for 22 measurements.Results: As a result of our study, the head and face data were generally lower than the literature. Apertura piriformis height(APH), orbital length (OL) and orbital width (d-ec) results were compared as left and right asymmetry percentages, respectively;it was calculated as 1.35, 0.25, 0.26. Left measurement results were found more than right side.Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that the mean values of skulls in our country were generally lower than those ofother studies in the literature. At the same time, we think that comparing data with different nationalities will be important indetermining the structural craniometric properties for social diversity. In addition, we believe that our findings will shed lighton future research
