유치열기 아동의 두부방사선 계측학적 연구

The present study was performed to establish the cephalometric standards of Hellman dental age II C groups of Korean on the roentgenocephalometry. The subjects consisted of 26 males and 25 females with normal occlusion and acceptable profile. The major conclusions may be listed as follows: 1) The tables of standard deviation from the measurements were made. 2) All linear measurements of skeletal pattern in male were greater than in female with exception of the mandibular body length measurement. 3) The labial inclinations of the upper and lower incisors were greater in female than in male. 4) Vertical growth tendency of the face nab conformed in the late primary dentition as compared with the measurements of the mixed dentition.
