OBJECTIVE: Aim of this study was to investigate any correlations between the congenital absence of certain permanent teeth and individual craniofacial growth patterns. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The lateral cephalograms of n = 101 patients (65 female und 36 male) with various congenitally missing teeth were analyzed according to Hasund [11] prior to orthodontic treatment. Cephalometric data to determine the craniofacial growth pattern comprised GntgoAr, NSBa, ML-NSL, NL-NSL, MLNL angles and the index between upper and lower facial heights. Correlations between the type of missing teeth and growth pattern were examined. Group distribution was A = all patients with missing teeth (n = 101), P = missing second premolars (n = 49), S = missing upper lateral incisors (n = 30), X = various missing teeth (n = 22). We included a control group for each of these groups using data from Riolo et al.'s [22] growth study. RESULTS: Group A revealed an even distribution with n = 32 patients (31.7%) having a vertical growth pattern, n = 37 patients (36.6%) a neutral growth pattern, and n = 32 patients (31.7%) a horizontal growth pattern. The majority of patients (n = 20, 40.8%) in group P exhibited a horizontal growth pattern, whereas there were no significant correlations between the kind of congenitally missing teeth and growth patterns in groups S and X. Comparison of the mean values of groups P, S and X, revealed no significant differences. When comparing the control group to groups A, P and S, we noted significantly or highly significantly smaller gonial and basal plane angles. No significant differences were apparent concerning group X. CONCLUSIONS: This examination demonstrates no statistically-relevant correlation between craniofacial growth pattern and the congenital absence of certain permanent teeth, although horizontal growth is more frequent (but not significant) in patients with congenitally missing second premolars.
