Muted child generally tends to bend and has a rather stiff gait and the habit of tilting his head closer to the sound source. This will change the head posture from its normal position and affect the vertical direction of dentocraniofacial. According to Moss theory, functional matrix of soft tissue is a major regulator of bone growth process. There is a decreased of speech muscle function in the muted children that will result in dentocraniofacial growth. This study aims to determine the size comparison between muted children and normal children. The study was an observational analytic with cross sectional design. Subjects were 20 muted Java children aged 7-13 studied in SLBN I in Bantul. Subjects were taken the lateral cephalometric radiographs to measure the vertical component of dentocraniofacial. Data of normal children was drawn from Alphianti in 2011. The results were analyzed by unpaired t test and ANOVA to determine the significance differences in each age group at the muted children. Results showed significant difference (p<0.05) in variable posterior facial height and height of the ramus of mandible in 11.6-13 years group of age. It was concluded that the size of posterior facial height (S-Go) and height of the ramus of mandible (Ar-Go) of muted children aged 7-13 years was lower than normal children. The 11.6-13 age group had a significant difference in the S-Go (posterior facial height) and Ar-Go (height of the ramus of mandible) variable. Keywords: muted children, dentocraniofacial size, lateral cephalometric.
