Abstract
The purposes of this study was to study and identify chares in the craniofacial complex which might occur between the ages of 20 to 50. This approach must necessarily be of a cross sectional approach and hence the population studied must be homo— genuous and large or any differences derrived between the two samples could be assigned to innate differences between the samples themselves.
The Egyptian army provided the investigator with this home— genuous population, then, representing a sample of twenty years old males and fifty year old males (N = 320) on which cephalo— metric x—rays were derived. The result of this study was that for the fourteen measurements studied there were eight angular and linear variables that were significantly different between the two samples. The majority of the angular and linear measurements (eleven) indicated only the expected continued minimal appositional growth in the facial bones indicated by — Baer (1956) and others. hence, basically the craniofacial complex remains stable with age. The other angular variables with significant differences representing magnitudes’ of
