Summary

Aims: The aim of this study is to detect the interrelation between the cranial base and the facial heights involving age and sex differences. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on cephalometric of 63 subjects divided into two age groups: The first group including 36 subjects of 10-15 years and the second group including 27 subjects of 16-25 years, both groups of normal Cl.I molar occlusion with full set of permanent teeth. Lateral cephalometric radiograph were selected from computer of digi-tal radiography system (Planmeca dimaxis version 3). Nine linear measurements three for cranial base and six for facial heights with one ratio posterior to anterior facial height were evaluated. Results: There were a significant increase in means of group 2 for each cranial base and facial heights measurements, also within each age group means for male samples showed a significant increase in comparison with those of females. Posterior to anterior facial heights ratios were involved in normal range for both age groups. In addition a significant positive correlation were found between most of cranial base measurements with those of facial heights. Conclusions: Positive interrelation may be existed between growth of cranial base and growth of facial heights structures.
