Abstract

This paper presents results of longitudinal cephalic and facial growth and development in children between the age of 7 and 14 years. Cephalic dimensions are in all test groups considerably in favor of the boys. Different rhythm of growth is noted in the course of development: while the width of the head is at its maximum at the age of 7. Longitudinal growth is a longer process showing the biggest intensity between the ages of 11 and 13 years in both sexes. Boys have in most cases short and medium long heads in both tested periods, with a growing percentage of cases in the second group. Girls most of ten have medium long heads with a growing percentage of long heads. This percentage doubles with growth. Both sexes have predominantly narrow sculls at the age of 7. These become wider with growth. Measured by mean values of cephalic index, children in all tested groups belong to the category of brachycephal.
