RELATION OF THE ANTEROPOSTERIOR AND VERTICAL GROWTH ON JAVANESE SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN WITH GOOD NUTRITIONAL STATUS (CEPHALOMETRIC LATERAL RADIOGRAPHIC STUDY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT AT KASIHAN DISTRIC OF BANTUL REGENCY)
Abstract
Human face is part of cranium that commonly called viscerocranium. Post partum facial growth takes into three directions namely transverse, vertical and sagital (anteroposterior). At the time of cranial base grew into the anterior, facial bone grew into the anterior and inferior. This growth was closely related to the maxillary andmandibulary growth. Sagittal growth, the most intensive occured befpre and during the eruption of permanent molars. There was no significant correation between growth pattern width at the maxillary sutura mediana with maxillary sutura height supporters. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between anteroposterior and vertical facial growth in Javanese school-age children in good nutritional status.
