Study Notes

Physical and Dental Changes in Children Aged Six to Twelve Years

Children aged six years are typically 3'10" tall and 48 pounds, while twelve-year-olds are around 5' tall and 85 pounds.
Children experience an average height increase of 5-6% and weight increase of 10% per year.
By age six, all body proportions are close to those of adults, with the most remarkable proportional change being lengthening of the limbs.
Boys experience the most significant height changes between ages 6-10, while girls experience the most significant height changes between ages 10-15.
Blood pressure increases and pulse decreases, while mineralization of the skeleton and muscular tissue increase until age 11 in boys.
Craniofacial changes include continuous growth in the head and neck, with the jaws growing faster than the cranium.
Nasal projection and increased mandibular prominence occur, with the nasal cartilage and mandibular condyle continuing to grow.
Growth modifications can be performed during this age group, with changes in cranial base length ceasing in early adolescence.
Dentoalveolar growth complements facial growth as permanent teeth erupt and alveolar ridges develop.
Transverse changes occur with the widening of the anterior arch and eruption of permanent teeth.
All permanent teeth usually erupt by the end of the twelfth year, with enamel complete by age eight and root closure of several teeth by age 10-11.
Diastemas between primary incisors provide space for larger permanent incisors, and ectopic eruption of teeth can occur during this period.
