Background: The art and science of orthodontics has undergone a paradigm shift from Angle's paradigm to soft tissue paradigm. New cephalometric analyses are being introduced to the speciality with main focus on soft tissue contours of the patient. STCA proposed by Anett and Bergmann is one such analysis which has gained popularity in recent times. A study was conducted at Goa dental college with an aim to establish norms for Goan population for STCA. A total of 600 subjects of Goan origin were screened and 85 subjects were selected. Cephalograms were obtained in NHP. STCA was performed and norms were derived for the Goan population.
Keywords:Cephalometric, Goan, STCA.
