Abstract

Cephalometry continues to be a versatile technique in the investigation of the craniofacial skeleton because of its validity and practicality. The nasal index (NI) cephalometry of Hausa-Fulani tribe has been studied by so many researchers using callipers and lately radiographs. However, despite its added advantages, NI determination using Computed Tomography images is rare particularly among the Hausa-fulani tribes.
