Cephalometric norms of Libyan children in mixed dentition phase

Abstract EN

The present study designed to establish cephalometric norms of 90 healthy Libyan children in the mixed dentition phase ( 9-12 ) years.

The results obtained, were tabulated and statistically analyzed.

Comparison of Libyan cephalometric means of skeletal and dental angular and linear measurements by that of American Negro and white American, showed that the Libyan sample shows less facial convexity and less dental protrusion than the American Negro and white American samples.
