For many years, the anatomical structure of the human body, its normal limits and what the standard measures should be have been discussed, and certain norms have been created by examining their relationships with each other. Craniofacial anthropometry is a branch of anthropometry and covers head and face measurements in live, cadaveric and radiological samples. In our study, we aimed to determine the national normal values and to investigate possible differences between genders with cranial and facial anthropometric measurements of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Faculty of Medicine 1st and 2nd grade students. Our study was conducted on a total of 80 medical school students whose ages ranged between 18 and 24, without craniofacial anomalies. Students’ Body Mass Index (BMI) was calculated and 19 anthropometric landmarks were determined for the measurements. The variables of maximum head width, cranial base width, maximum head length, maximum face width, nose width, ear length and ear width were found to be statistically significant between girl and boy groups (p <0.05). The variables of minimum frontal width, head height, total craniofacial head height, mandibular width, and nose height were found to be statistically highly significant between girl and boy groups (p <0.001). BMI values were calculated as 21.4 (19.7-24.0) for girls and 23.5 (22.1-24.9) for boys. As a result of our study, our head and face measurements show significant differences regarding the sex of the individuals.
