title: Proprotionate linear measurements in radiographic cephalometric assessments. A methodological study.
abstract: Craniofacial structures were studied by radiographic cephalometry in 10 boys and 10 girls at 9-14 years and 13 years later. The linear distances were measured in mm as well as with indices with the sella-nasion distance as denominator. The index measurements proved to be dependent on age to a rather limited extent. This held true for index measurements referring to skeletal points as well as soft-tissue points.
