چکیده

Dentofacial growth and development is a complex phenomenon with great impact in the evaluation and treatment of the child. In order to understand individual growth and to elaborate precise diagnosis we need to develop reference values for the present population. For this we had to perform cross-sectional and mixed longitudinal studies on large samples of population over a period of three years. The investigated standards were: dental age, eruption pattern of permanent teeth, odontometric data and prediction tables, dental arch development indices, facial dimensions and proportions and cephalometric measurements. This paper will present and evaluate the principle digital imaging technologies used for updating standards: digital photography, digital models and digital radiography. For analyzing of the digital data we used dedicated software. In conclusion actual computer science and modern imaging technologies facilitates the understanding and characterization of the dentofacial growth and creation of databases for educational and research purposes. Key-Words: dentofacial growth and development, standards, dental age, tooth eruption, standardized digital radiography, sequential intraoral photography, digital models, standardized digital photography, anthropometry
