Craniofacial and Dental Abnormalities in Children With Intrauterine Growth Restriction: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study
IUGR is related to changed patterns of craniofacial development that feature shortening of the cranial base and mandibular lengths and lengthening of the lower facial height. It is also associated with a greater number of cases of enamel defects. Screening of children with IUGR and their cephalometric evaluation at an early stage will provide better preventive and orthodontic interceptive treatment guidance.
