“…Regarding cephalometric findings, variations in the growth rhythm were observed, with stages of apparent activity and inactivity as well as important age-related changes, what coincides with a Colombian study in mestizo individuals without clefts (Jiménez et al, 2020) and the changes can be explained given the multiple differential development processes interacting at different growth stages, scales, and dimensions (Larson et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: Craniofacial growth is a dynamic and unpredictable process influenced by genetic and environmental factors, presenting phenotypic and gender differences. Objective: Evaluate the differences in craniofacial growth and development in a group of Colombian individuals with complete unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) and without CLP, classified by gender and age. Setting and Sample Population: Five hundred forty-one profile radiographs of 126 patients with unilateral CLP, 126 with bilateral CLP, and 289 without CLP. All patients of affected groups had a history of CLP correction surgery without nasoalveolar molding with orthopedic and orthodontic treatments. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed comparing 8 cephalometric measurements on radiographs, 5 linear/3 angular. Analysis was performed by median and interquartile range for all cephalometric measurements. Comparison between the groups was performed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U, with a 95% confidence. Results: Significant differences between the groups of patients with and without CLP, between types of clefts and genders. The skeletal structures of patients with CLP were smaller than those of control but improved with growth. Patients with unilateral CLP presented flat profiles and predominant class III malocclusions, while patients with bilateral CLP, at early ages, were class II and in the prepubertal stage, the values were progressively negative until the end of the growth period, suggesting class III. Patients with CLP presented posteroinferior rotation of the mandible, vertical measurements increased, and deflection of the cranial base. Conclusion: Given their growth alterations, patients with CLP benefit from orthopedic and orthodontic treatment.

“…18 When evaluating the mandibular plane angle (Go-Me) with the (S-N) plane, a peak in values can be observed between the ages of 11 and 12 years, which may be due to the reduced number of cases evaluated at this age, and mainly occurs in patients with increased AFH; this is different from the behavior of this measure in the general population, in which it decreases over the course of life. 19 The maxillomandibular measurements evaluated in the anteroposterior plane show the same growth tendency in maxilla and mandible between the ages of 6 and 12 years, with no growth peaks, unlike other studies that do report peaks. This can be explained because of sample size or the methodology of cross-sectional studies.…”

“…This part of the mandible responds to growth changes in other areas such as the condyle and hence a very steady growth. 4,14 The skull base in the studied population is smaller in size compared to other populations, 4,6,9,10,19 showing the most similarities with the Guatemalan sample. 12 This should be considered when making sagittal diagnoses using the skull base as a reference.…”

“…Several studies have reported early fluctuations in growth before the age of twelve. 11,19,[22][23][24] Finding these peak periods or growth acceleration increases is important to establish early and effective treatment protocols. Various studies have reported samples with annual increases ranging from 3 to 8 mm in vertical changes (AFH), with these increases showing greater percentages in females, since as reported in the literature, the growth peak occurs approximately 2 years earlier in female.…”

Introducción: a través de los años se han estudiado poblaciones por medio de radiografías cefálicas laterales, en variedad de etnias, edades y tipos de estudio, lo que ha permitido establecer estándares para diferentes grupos. En Latinoamérica, los estudios demuestran diferencias cefalométricas respecto a las normas basadas en poblaciones caucásicas. Método: se analizaron 1.627 casos de pacientes sin tratamiento previo, 855 hombres y 772 mujeres entre 6 y 12 años. Se tomó radiografía cefálica lateral y un trazado específico. Se realizó análisis descriptivo utilizando media, desviación estándar, mínimo y máximo. Se hizo comparación entre los sujetos masculinos y femeninos y por edades. Resultados: se encontró mayor tamaño en todas las medidas en hombres, siendo estadísticamente significativas en algunas medidas y edades. La edad que mayor diferencia presenta es a los 8 y 9 años, y la de menor diferencia es a los 10 años. Conclusión: se presentó variación en el tamaño maxilar y mandibular con la edad y el género, con mayor tamaño en los hombres y con características de manifestaciones de predominio vertical.

“…Three studies observed a significant increase in the anterior cranial base length (S-N) and posterior cranial base length (S-Ba) (Figure 2) in both sexes from childhood to young adulthood, [27][28][29] while two others showed the same trend, with no statistical analysis. 2,30 Longer S-N was generally observed in males than females in longitudinal 2,28,30 and cross-sectional study designs. 29,[31][32][33][34][35] Stahl de Castrillon et al 30 recorded longer S-N in males at 6, 16, and 17 years.…”

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.
