Abstract		The aim of this study was to develop standard cephalometric values for our population in the period of the mixed dentition. Eighty-eight children were included in the study - 46 girls and 42 boys (mean age 9.31 ± 1,52). The inclusion criteria were: the presence of mixed dentition, the score of the modified Eismann method for an objective assessment of malocclusion less than 15 points, the absence of aplasia and supernumerary teeth, no congential anomalies and no previous orthodontic treatment. Twenty-five cephalometric measurements were performed twice to analyse the size and shape of craniofacial complex. The reliability of measurements was assessed by the means of correlation, regression and the analysis of inter-subject differences; satisfactory results were obtained. The differences between boys and girls and between those in the early and late mixed dentition period were tested with a two-way analysis of variance. The most pronounced changes between the early and late mixed dentition were observed in the vertical skeletal relationships: decrease in mandibular inclination, interbasal angle, gonial angle and increase in anterior and posterior facial height. Sagittal skeletal relationships remained constant from the early to the late mixed dentition. No significant differences were found between observed developmental stages. The significant differences between gender were found only for anterior and posterior face height with boys showing larger values (p = 0.0001). Because there were no significant differences between the early and late mixed dentition the mean measurement values of total sample can be used as cephalometric standards for our population in the mixed dentition period.
