“…[15][16][17][18] The research described in this article pointed out that growth of transverse craniofacial dimensions continues even after puberty; this was also observed by Athanasiou et al 16 (1992) and by Lux et al 18 (2004). An increase in these measurements in the sample studied was detected in a time period of two and a half years, starting at the age of 10 years and 9 months up to age 14.…”

The aim of this longitudinal study was to assess the relation between the transverse craniofacial dimensions of subjects with Class II, Division 1 malocclusion and the breathing mode presented by them. Forty Angle Class II, Division 1 malocclusion subjects of both genders participated in the study, 23 of which were predominantly nose breathers and 17 were predominantly mouth breathers. The mean age ranged from 10 years and 9 months to 14 years -Age range 1; and from 13 years and 4 months to 16 years and 6 months -Age range 2. Measurements of six transverse craniofacial dimensions were performed in P-A teleradiographs: Total Sphenoid, Total Zygomatic, Total Nasal Cavity, Total Maxilla, Total Mastoid and Total Antegonion. The transversal craniofacial dimensions were measured and compared in both groups at age ranges 1 and 2. The longitudinal assessment of age ranges 1 and 2 showed that there was no statistically significant influence of the breathing mode on the craniofacial dimensions evaluated, or on the alteration of these dimensions. Breathing mode had no influence on craniofacial development in the sample studied.

“…It is noteworthy, however, that the age group of the two study samples differed, and this may have accounted for the differences in vertical dimension. Since transverse growth ceases relatively early in life, 26,27 it is not surprising that both studies identified a difference in this dimension irrespective of the sample's age. Vertical facial development, on the other hand, is often the last dimension to cease growth 27,28 and is therefore more likely to exhibit greater variation in older samples such as the present one.…”

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between mandibular divergence and vertical and transverse dimensions of the face. Materials and Methods: A sample was recruited from the orthodontic clinic of the University of Otago, New Zealand. The recruited participants (N 5 60) were assigned to three different groups based on the mandibular plane angle (hyperdivergent, n 5 20; normodivergent, n 5 20; and hypodivergent, n 5 20). The sample consisted of 31 females and 29 males, with a mean age of 21.1 years (SD 6 5.0). Facial scans were recorded for each participant using a three-dimensional (3D) white-light scanner and then merged to form a single 3D image of the face. Vertical and transverse measurements of the face were assessed from the 3D facial image.

Objective:The aim of present study was to evaluate and compare the transverse dimensions in normal occlusion and various malocclusion groups. Materials and methods:This study was conducted on 90 posteroanterior cephalograms of North Indians subjects having age ranged between 18 to 28 years with a mean age of 20.2 years. The subjects were divided into three groups, Group I (Control group), Group II (Class II division 1 malocclusion), Group III (Class III malocclusion). Total 17 cephalometric parameters were used in this study in which 11 were transverse and four were vertical linear measurements, other two were difference between maxillary and mandibular width, and ratio of maxillary to mandibular width.Results: Maxillary width were found to be significantly lower in Groups II and III malocclusion (p < 0.001) than the control group. While mandibular width were found decreased significantly in Group II malocclusion and increased significantly in Group III malocclusion (p < 0.05).
