Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the coordination and correlation of growth pattern between craniomaxillary complex and mandible, and among the craniofacial region, body-weight and stature 14 boys and 16 girls between 6 and 12 years of age were used in this study. The result were as follows, 1. Total increments and maximum increment in mandible is higher than in craniomaxillary complex during given period and no significant sexual difference existed. 2. The annual growth of craniofacial region did not assume an aspect of constant growth, periodically. 3. Craniofacial growth pattern was mterrelatcd with statute more than with body-weight. 4. The growth behavior of body-weight and stature coincided with the growth of craniofacial region or preceded it in time.
