[Craniofacial dimensions and growth. Longitudinal study].
On a sample od 13 children of both sexes, aged 5-7 years, the longitudinal investigation of eight angular and five linear dimensions was carried out. Lateral cephalometric roentgenograms were used for the analyses. It was found that during the investigated period maxillary and mandibularly prognathism increased, maxillary plane inclination increased, and mandibular plane inclination decreased. None of the examined angular measurements showed a statistically significant difference in the age between five and seven year. All linear measurements increased with the age and grown. Statistically significant differences were found only for maxillary base length and upper face height.
