[The growth of certain craniofacial dimensions in regard to the development of normal occlusion and malocclusion in the period of mixed dentition]

Abstract

The authors have analysed the growth of the craniofacial parameters zygion-zygion, eurvon-eurvon, glabella-opisthocranion, nasion-gnathion and nasion-prosthion with examinees aged 5 to 13 years with normal occlusion and malocclusion. No statistically significant differences in the growth of the analysed parameters in regard to the constancy or change of the examinee's orthodontic diagnosis in the period of mixed dentition have been found.
