Abstract:
This study was undertaken to establish the roentgenocephalometric standards of the Korean children in Hellman dental age III C. The subjects consisted of 33 males and 33 females with the normal occlusion and acceptable profile. The lateral cephalometric films were taken with the teeth in centric occlusion, the soft tissue outline of the nose, lips, and chin was made visible by the low-speed films, 70Kvp, 100Mas. Their linear and angular measurements were performed by Jarabak's methods. The following results were obtained; 1) The author made the tables of standard deviation from the measured values. 2) Each linear measurement of the skull was greater in males than in females. 3) The maxillary basal bones were more protrusive in Korean children than in Caucasian. 4) The degree of the facial convexity was larger in Korean children than in Caucasian. 5) The labial inclination of the upper & lower incisors was greater in Korean children than in Caucasian. The labial inclination of the upper incisor was greater in females, but the labial inclination of the lower incisor was greater in males.
