[Correlation between physical development and dentition based on the Jena Longitudinal Study].

In this paper body height, body weight and several head measurements from children with different dental age were compared. In addition it was investigated, if the increasing rates in the body and head measurements in the separate dentition. It could be shown, that in body measurements as well as in head measurements late teether seem to have a tendency to the smallest mean values, early teether show a tendency to higher mean values. This trend is in girls clearer than in boys. The increasing rates of the body and head measurements differ in the separate dentition stages, but do not allow conclusions of the dentition process.
