ABSTRACT

Introduction: Facial morphology experiences gradual change by region. Its components and variations are an area of interest in pediatrics, odontology and forensic anthropology among others. Objective: To identify the growth pattern by age and gender from 10 to 20 years of age. Material and methods: The study included 450 lateral cephalograms (215 males and 235 females) collected at the Latin American University between 2000 and 2010. Results: The report describes skeletal and soft tissue indicators for growth by age and gender in individuals with ages between 10 and 20 years for each one of the facial thirds. Conclusion: Facial spiral model demonstrates differential patterns for each facial third with a constant separation beginning at age 13.
