Abstract

This study was performed to establish the cephalometric standards and growth change of Korean teen-age group by Ricketts analysis. A roentgenocephalometric study was made from 365 subjects, that consist of 159 males, 206 females with normal occlusion, acceptable profile and no history of orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment. The results were as follows: 1. The tables of means, standard deviation from measured values were made. (male, female, both sex). 2. The tables of regression equations from measured values were made to establish the relationship between age and each item. (male, female, both sex). 3. All linear measurements of each item in male were greater than in females. 4. Items which show more linear than any other items were condyle axis, facial axis length, corpus length and upper molar position.
