Abstract

Objective: Understanding the orofacial characteristics and growth patterns in children is essential for both orthodontics and research on children with orofacial abnormalities. However, a concise resource of normative data on the size and relative position of these structures in different populations is not available. Our objective was to aggregate normative data to assess the growth of the orofacial skeletal structures in children with a well-balanced face and normal occlusion.

Methods: The MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases were searched. Inclusion criteria included longitudinal and cross-sectional studies on cephalometric measurement of skeletal tissues and a study population ≤ 18 years with a well-balanced face and normal occlusion. Key study parameters were extracted, and knowledge was synthesized. A quality appraisal was performed using a 10-point scale.

Results: The final selection comprised of 12 longitudinal and 33 cross-sectional studies, the quality of which ranged from good to excellent. Our results showed that from childhood to adulthood, the length of the cranial base increased significantly while the cranial base angle remained constant; both the maxilla and mandible moved forward and downward. The profile becomes straighter with age.

Conclusions: Growth patterns in children with a well-balanced face and normal occlusion follow accepted theories of growth.

儿童头颅测量标准数据的范围审查。

目的：了解儿童的口面部特征和生长模式对于口面部畸形儿童的正畸和研究都至关重要。然而，关于这些结构在不同人群中的大小和相对位置的常模数据却没有一个简明的资源。我们的目标是汇总标准数据，以评估面部匀称、咬合正常的儿童口面部骨骼结构的生长情况：方法：检索了 MEDLINE、Embase 和 Scopus 数据库。纳入标准包括对骨骼组织进行头颅测量的纵向和横截面研究，以及研究对象年龄小于 18 岁，面部匀称且咬合正常。我们提取了主要研究参数，并对相关知识进行了归纳。结果：最终选出了 12 项纵向研究和 33 项横向研究，其质量从良好到优秀不等。我们的研究结果表明，从儿童期到成年期，颅底长度显著增加，而颅底角保持不变；上颌骨和下颌骨均向前和向下移动。随着年龄的增长，轮廓变得更加平直：面部匀称、咬合正常的儿童的生长模式符合公认的生长理论。

期刊介绍： The Korean Journal of Orthodontics (KJO) is an international, open access, peer reviewed journal published in January, March, May, July, September, and November each year. It was first launched in 1970 and, as the official scientific publication of Korean Association of Orthodontists, KJO aims to publish high quality clinical and scientific original research papers in all areas related to orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Specifically, its interest focuses on evidence-based investigations of contemporary diagnostic procedures and treatment techniques, expanding to significant clinical reports of diverse treatment approaches. The scope of KJO covers all areas of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics including successful diagnostic procedures and treatment planning, growth and development of the face and its clinical implications, appliance designs, biomechanics, TMJ disorders and adult treatment. Specifically, its latest interest focuses on skeletal anchorage devices, orthodontic appliance and biomaterials, 3 dimensional imaging techniques utilized for dentofacial diagnosis and treatment planning, and orthognathic surgery to correct skeletal disharmony in association of orthodontic treatment.
