颅面复合体的差异生长意味着个体发育模式的变化。这项调查量化的相对成熟度，定义为百分之成年状态，9头影测量尺寸和身高。分析是基于从26名男性和25名女性4-16岁的混合纵向样本中获得的663张头颅侧位片。整个年龄范围内的成熟状态的图形比较表明，神经和躯体生长成熟模式之间的变化是一体化的，如所描述的头高和身材，分别。成熟度梯度从头高经前颅底、后颅底、上颌骨长度、上面部高度、躯干长度、下颌支高度到身高。9岁以后，下颌升支的高度比身高发育不成熟。前上颌骨和下颌骨的高度减少过渡牙列期，此后表现出成熟模式，比较语料库长度。虽然女性始终比男性更成熟，但维度之间的变化梯度与性别无关。
Differential growth of the craniofacial complex implies variation in ontogenetic patterns of development. This investigation quantifies the relative maturity, as defined by percent adult status, of 9 cephalometric dimensions and stature. Analysis is based on 663 lateral cephalograms from a mixed longitudinal sample of 26 males and 25 females 4-16 yr of age. Graphic comparison of maturity status across the age range shows that variation is intergraded between the neural and somatic growth maturity patterns, as described by head height and stature, respectively. The maturity gradient moves from head height through anterior cranial base, posterior cranial base and maxillary length, upper facial height, corpus length and ramus height to stature. After 9 yr of age ramus height is less mature than stature. Anterior maxillary and mandibular heights diminish during transitional dentition and thereafter exhibit maturity patterns that compare to corpus length. Although females are consistently more mature than males, the gradient of variation between dimensions is sex independent.
