To assess the relationship between various growth trends in the Chhattisgarh population and the thickness of the soft tissue at the chin (STC). Materials and Method: 80 lateral cephalograms of adult patients who had visited the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, including 40 men and 40 women, within the age range of 18 to 30 years. Based on the cephalometric mandibular plane inclination to anterior cranial base (MP/SN), all patients in this study were categorised into four subgroups: low, medium low, medium-high, and high MP/SN at the pogonion (Pog), gnathion (Gn), and menton (me), the soft tissue chin thickness is calculated (Me). Student's t-test and two-way analysis of variance were used to assess group differences. Result: The STC values were lower in the high group (5.60 1.07) than in all other groups at Gn mean values (high group 7.40 STC8.80) and at Me (high group 4.40 1.07; other groups mm, 5.80 STC mm; P5.001). Conclusion: STC values were higher in men than in women. According to hyper divergent face patterns, the STC is narrower at Gn and Me than Pog.
