It was divided into four groups according to the pattern of facial growth (SN / G-Gn): Low, Medium Low, Medium High and High and the thickness of the soft tissues of the chin was measured sagittally at the Pogonion, Gnation and Menton level of the bone structures at their respective points in soft tissues. The Spearman Rho correlation was used to evaluate the means of the thickness of the soft tissues of the chin and facial pattern, for the comparison b...
