Estimating Craniofacial Growth Cessation: Comparison of Asymptote- and Rate-Based Methods.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify differences between asymptote- and rate-based methods for estimating age and size at growth cessation in linear craniofacial measurements.

Design

This is a retrospective, longitudinal study. Five linear measurements were collected from lateral cephalograms as part of the Craniofacial Growth Consortium Study (CGCS). Four estimates of growth cessation, including 2 asymptote- (GC_asym, GC_err) and 2 rate-based (GC_abs, GC_10%) methods, from double logistic models of craniofacial growth were compared.

Participants

Cephalometric data from participants in 6 historic longitudinal growth studies were included in the CGCS. At least 1749 individuals (870 females, 879 males), unaffected by craniofacial anomalies, were
