Abstract:
?Objective: To study the craniofacial growth in Chinese girls. Methods: The hand wrist radiographs of 282 chinese girls aged 7 to 14 years old were analysed by CHN scoring method to assess their skeletal age. Furthermore, their lateral cephalometric films were taken and analysed with percentile method. The craniofacial growth percentile curves of the girls were made. Results:The fastest craniofacial growth in the girls took place at the age of 11 to 12. The growth of SN was not significant,but the mandibular length(Co-Gn) increased by 17.3 mm.Conclusion: The data may be reference for the jaw growth prediction
