Abstract
Objective: To establish the influence of medicated hypothyroidism, overweight/obesity and medicated non-syndromic hypogrowth on maxillary and mandibular growth.
Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study that evaluated the relation between craniofacial anthropometric measurements with hypothyroidism (n=216), overweight/obesity (n=108) and non-syndromic hypogrowth (n=250) in patients between 1 and 19 years old and a control group of healthy patients (n=587). A subgroup analysis was performed at peak growth in groups.
