ABSTRACT:
A facial growth indicator is used to measure the linear distance from an incisal edge of either a permanent or primary maxillary incisor to the intersection of a line constructed from the center of the ear, passing forward through the most anterior point on the soft tissue of the nose. A patient's measurement can be compared to a normal standard expected for a child at his or her particular age. If the child being examined has an abnormal measurement, then further diagnostic tests can be performed on the child.
