“…Indeed, as measured by root development, children with idiopathic precocious puberty had significantly retarded dental ages. Thus, these observations support the earlier findings of Seckel (1950) and Keller et al (1970) but fail to affirm the conclusions of Garn et al (1965) and Catalanotto et al (1978). The observations suggest that pubertal levels of sex steroid have much less effect on odontogenesis than they do on skeletal maturation.…”

“…Increased facial height and jaw maturation have been reported in patients with precocious sexual development, and although premature odontogenesis has been suggested (Garn et al, 1965;Catalanotto et al, 1978), others have not made similar observations (Seckel, 1950;Keller et al, 1970). The role of hormones in dental development has been implied in several studies, but the specific hormone or site of action is unresolved (Stafne, 1952;Wagner et al, 1963;Horikoshi et al, 1974).…”

One hundred and one children with precocious puberty were given an oral examination. Dental root development was assessed using panoramic radiographs. All mandibular canines, pre-molars, and molars which could be visualized without apparent distortion were included. The patients were grouped for analysis according to the etiology of their precocity, e.g., McCune-Albright syndrome, familial male, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, central nervous system lesions, and idiopathic precocious puberty. Dental development was significantly retarded relative to their chronological age in patients with idiopathic precocious puberty. However, no significant abnormal dental development was detected in any of the other groups. Individual oral-facial growth and development remain the primary considerations for timing orthodontic treatment.

“…The function of GH (and its mediators) in dental development has not been conclusively established, but it may account for some aspects of dental maturation since dental age has previously been found to be delayed in GH-deficient children [13, 30, 31, 32, 33]and to be accelerated by GH substitution therapy [15, 32, 33]. …”

Craniofacial Growth and Dental Maturation in Short Children Born Small for Gestational Age: Effect of Growth Hormone Treatment

et al. 1998

Short children born small for gestational age (SGA) may be candidates for treatment with growth hormone (GH). We examined craniofacial growth and dental maturation in a cohort of short SGA children. The general growth failure of these children is reflected to a differential extent within the craniofacial complex. As a group, these children have a small retrognathic face with a relatively increased lower anterior face height; in contrast to skeletal maturation, dental age is not delayed. GH treatment in short prepubertal SGA children leads to craniofacial catch-up growth, which is particularly pronounced in regions where interstitial cartilage is involved, the result being that the facial profile becomes less convex; dental maturation does not appear to be influenced by GH treatment. In conclusion, in short SGA children, GH treatment does not only result in an increase of body stature but also in a trend towards normalization of craniofacial growth and this without notable advancement of dental maturation.

“…[1][2][3] Case reports and clinical studies [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] have found global delays in all linear craniofacial dimensions. This generates the erroneous impression of a relatively large cranium.…”
