This study was designed to quantify linear changes in length and thickness for both maxillary and mandibular lips. Twenty-seven (27) untreated children were used in this study. Five serial lateral radiographs were taken from the age of 3-18 years old. Results of the study demonstrated that lips grow in length and thickness by age. Also, this growth in both dimensions is more marked in male subjects than in females.
本研究旨在量化上颌和下颌唇部长度和厚度的线性变化。本研究使用了27名未经治疗的儿童。从3岁至18岁拍摄了五张连续的侧位X线片。研究结果表明,唇部会随着年龄增长而在长度和厚度上有所生长。此外,这两个维度的生长在男性受试者中比在女性中更为明显。
