highly significantP < 0.001
The significant ( P < 0.001) low positive correlation (0.28) of columella convexity with the length of maxilla agrees with the findings of Gulsen et al .[ 17 ] Columella convexity of the nose when related with vertical skeletal parameters [ Table 2 ] showed a highly significant low positive correlation with both anterior maxillary height ( r = 0.22, P < 0.001) and posterior maxillary height ( r = 0.216, P < 0.001)., -with angle of inclination of maxilla it showed an insignificant (0.61) low positive correlation (0.039).
