The study presents the results of the evaluation of the absolute values of kefalometric indicators of primary school students living in the city of Krasnoyarsk. In boys, the predominance of the average values of most cephalometric parameters was revealed, in comparison with girls. Correlations have been established between the sizes of the cerebral and facial parts of the head, as well as between the values of heights and depths of faces, both in schoolchildren and schoolgirls. The analysis of the values of the head index was performed, and it was determined that the percentage of the dolichocephalic head shape dominates among the examined persons of both sexes. The mesocephalic shape of the head was significantly less common, and, most rarely, the brachycephalic shape of the head was determined in both female and male individuals. At the same time, there were no significant differences between the groups depending on gender in the distribution of head types in the age group we examined. However, gender differences were found in the distribution of face types. The leptoprosopic type of face dominated both in students and in female students, while its share among girls was significantly higher. Mesoprosopic type of face in female students is less common, compared with students. The most rare- ly established euryprosopic type of face, while the frequency of its distribution is the same in children of both sexes. It is recommended to take into account the results of the study in practical orthodontics in children.
