Growth of the cranial base in Dutch children who had undergone orthodontic treatment and children who had not is described and compared with the aid of multilevel statistical techniques. Growth changes of the cranial base (S-N, N-Ba, and S-Ba) were evaluated. The results pertain to a mixed longitudinal sample of 153 boys and 167 girls for S-N and 116 boys and 116 girls for N-Ba and S-Ba, 7 to 14 years of age. No significant difference could be demonstrated between subjects who had received orthodontic treatment and subjects who had not. The cranial base displayed sexual dimorphism in the timing and amount of growth. All dimensions measured in girls were significantly smaller than in boys (p < 0.05). No adolescent growth spurts were found in girls; boys showed adolescent growth spurts for S-N and N-Ba. Adolescent growth velocities were significantly greater for boys than for girls.
借助多水平统计技术，描述并比较了接受正畸治疗的荷兰儿童和未接受正畸治疗的荷兰儿童颅底的生长情况。评估了颅底（蝶鞍 - 鼻根点、鼻根点 - 颅底点和蝶鞍 - 颅底点）的生长变化。结果涉及一个混合纵向样本，其中7至14岁的男孩153名、女孩167名用于蝶鞍 - 鼻根点测量，男孩116名、女孩116名用于鼻根点 - 颅底点和蝶鞍 - 颅底点测量。接受正畸治疗的受试者与未接受正畸治疗的受试者之间未显示出显著差异。颅底在生长时间和生长量上表现出性别差异。女孩测量的所有维度均显著小于男孩（p < 0.05）。女孩未发现青春期生长高峰；男孩在蝶鞍 - 鼻根点和鼻根点 - 颅底点出现青春期生长高峰。男孩青春期生长速度显著快于女孩。
