Abstract
- The author neasured the right and left craniofacial skelecton using posteroanterior cephalography of 124 male and 97 female subjects of ages ranging 2-6 years, 7-13 years and adult group on Korean. Statistical parameters were calculated by computer from the data.
The results of the study were as follows.
1. In the male and female group of deciduous dentition, the right side measurements were slightly greater than the left side measurements, and generally male measurements were greater than female measurements.
2. In the both group of mixed dentition, the right measurements were greater than the left side measurements, and in comparision of sex, the female fecognized more growth and development than male, especially on the cranial base, lateral maxilla, lower maxilla and dental region.
3. In the permanent dentition group, regardiess of sex, the right side measurements were greater than the left sidd measurements, and in the sex difference, male was conspicuously greater than female on both sides measurements.
4. In the permanent dentition group, the asymmetry of the face was striking than deciduous dentition and mixed dentition group.
