Sažetak
Objective: To assess whether there are differences in skeletal maturation among subjects with horizontal, vertical, and neutral facial growth patterns. Material and methods: The study was performed on 48 latero-lateral craniographs of patients with horizontal, 48 with vertical and 50 with neutral growth patterns aged 12 to 18 years. Eight variables from the Zagreb 82 MOD, Bracchetti and Accord analysis, were selected for measuring angular and linear parameters on latero-lateral craniographs. The assessment of skeletal maturation was done by using the CVMS method. Results: Sta-tistical analysis showed significant differences in skeletal maturity (p <0.001) between subjects with horizontal and vertical growth pattern and between the subjects with neutral and vertical growth pattern (p <0.05), while no significant difference was found between patients with horizontal and neutral growth pattern. In the younger group (12 – 15 years) there was a statistically significant difference (p <0.05) among subjects with horizontal and vertical growth patterns. In the older group (16 – 18 yrs) there was a statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) in skeletal maturity among subjects with ver-tical growth patterns compared with horizontal and neutral. In terms of stages of skeletal maturity, patients with a horizontal and neutral growth pattern in the younger group were on average in the fourth stage, and those with a vertical growth pattern in the third stage. In the older group, patients with a horizontal and neutral growth pattern were on average in the fifth stage of skeletal maturity and those with a vertical growth pattern in the fourth stage. Conclusion: According to the growth pat-tern, patients differ in the stage of skeletal maturity.
