This study was performed to compare the dentofacial morphology of urban and sub-urban children, A cephalometric analysis was made from 70 urban children and 70 sub-urban children.
@ES The results of this study were obtained as follows:
@EN 1. In comparison between urban and sub-urban children, there were no singificant difference except SN-1 angle in male group.
2. There was no significant difference between urban and sub-urban children but there was tendency that the linear measurements of urban children were larger than those of sub-urban children
3. In comparison according to sex difference, linear measurements of male group were significantly larger than female group in anterior cranial base length, posterior cranial base length, facial depth, facial length, anterior facial height, and
posterior facial height.
It meant that the face of the male is larger than the female.
4. In comparison of angular measurements according to sex difference, there were no significant difference except OP-MP angle.
