Abstract:
The author recommends the classic direct cephalometry for measurements in clinical anthropology during childhood. It is referred a trend of debrachycephalization in the Czech child population. The presented results prove a decreasing cephalic index from birth up to 3 years of life and a relationship between positioning of the child and the shape and size of the child's neurocranium.
