Craniofacial changes of Suttur children 7-10yrs semilongitudinal study

Cephalometric standards of one ethnic group need not apply to other ethnic groups. This study evaluated lateral cephalometric craniofacial changes between 7-10 years & differences between genders for children of Suttur. The linear increase in SNA & SNB from 7-10 years was significant. ANB A-NPog A:ss-n-pg there was linear decrease from 7-10 years. Mean basal vertical measurements of PFH PFH/AFH Jaw relation & N:Ans there was linear increase in measurement from 7-10 years. Mean values of Jaw relation Maxillary Inclination & Mandibular Inclination decreased from 7-10 years. Jaw angle was found to be significant change when compared between the genders over years. Mean values of Co-Gn increased from 7-10 years & was significant. Mean dental measurements of U1-NA U1-NL U1-Protrusion U1-Inclination L1-Inclination suggested highly significant change over years. Changes in cranial base measurements from 7-10 years suggest continuous growth & remodeling changes of cranial base structures during these years. Growth changes seen in this study is very useful data of Craniofacial changes in Rural Residential School children of Suttur.
