Abstract: The aim of this study was to create a facial soft tissue thicknesses database of Azerbaijan adult population and find relation between FSTT and sex, age, body mass index (BMI). The study investigates the FSTT on 300 CT scans of living inviduals of three age groups: I, 18–25 years old; II, 26–45 years old; and III, 46 years and older. The CT images of the patients were divided into two groups according to BMI. The soft tissue thicknesses were measured at 20 landmarks, 10 along the midline and 10 bilateral. The mean, standard deviations, range, median for each anthropometric landmark were determined, and differences related to age, sex, BMI were calculated. This article presents the first database of facial soft tissues thicknesses of Transcaucasia populations.
