Abstract

A study of facial growth and development dynamics was conducted on a group of 760 children in the course of four years. The boy's face is considerably bigger than the girl's in all ages except between 11 and 13 years. There are great similarities between the sexes in facial growth considering upper and lower face width. The greatest growth of upper width is noted between 7 and 8 years of age, and between 8 and 9 years for the lower width. The biggest is longitudinal growth, and this is at its maximum at the age between 9 and 11 years tor girls, and between 12 and 13 years for boys. The face grows considerably in length with growing age. Measured by facial index, boys are mesoprosopes, and girls are leptoprosopes.
