Also, previous researches have also that there is relationship between the general body growth and craniofacial maturation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the craniofacial morphology and to relate it to the degree of diabetes in children with Juvenile Diabetes. Thirty growing children (age range 14-16 year) who had Juvenile Diabetes (JD) for 3-5 years and that were been treated by daily administration with insulin were studied. Another healthy thirty children with no familial history of any endocrinal disorders or Juvenile Diabetes and who attend the orthodontic /Pedodontic clinics of KAAU seeking orthodontic treatment were chosen. Lateral cephalomteric radiographs were taken for each patient after consenting patients to participate in this study. All cephalometric radiographs were corrected for magnification distortion and analyzed to evaluate their craniofacial growth status. The results showed that JD patients are underdeveloped in most of the craniofacial skeletal and soft tissue parameters when compared with the control group  ISSN : 1  Journal Name : Egyptian orthodontic Journal  Volume : 28  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 2005 AH 2005 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, January 4, 2008  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عبدالله ال مشيط AL MUSHAYT, ABDULLAH Investigator Doctorate aalmushayt@kau.edu.sa عبير النويصر AL-NWAISER, ABEER Researcher Doctorate aalnowaiser@kau.edu.sa Files File Name Type Description  STUDY OF CRANIOFACIAL MORPHOLOGY IN CHILDREN WITH JUVENILE DIABETES.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
