Abstract
The purpose of the investigation was to study the age and gender characteristics of the posterior cranial base length according to cephalometry data. The material for the study was 128 lateral cephalograms: 2nd childhood (n = 40, boys: 21; girls: 19); puberty (n = 28, boys: 8; girls: 20); adolescence (n = 30, boys: 10; girls: 20); and 1st adulthood (n = 30, men: 14; women: 16). A difference was not statistically significant in 2nd childhood between boys and girls (PF = 0.946; PU = 0.903). In puberty, the difference in the posterior cranial base length also did not reveal a statistically significant difference (PF = 0.385; PU = 0.140). In the adolescence period, a difference was statistically significant (PF = 0.033; PU = 0.035). In the 1st adulthood period, the values of the posterior cranial base length between men and women were not statistically significant (PF = 0.245; PU = 0.430).
Key words
the posterior cranial base length, age periods, cephalometry.
