“…In 1972 Lamparski 17 created the first standards of cervical vertebral maturation as related to chronological age and to skeletal maturation as observed on hand-wrist radiographs. Subsequently many authors [3][4][5][6][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] 22 demonstrated that the greatest increase in mandibular length occurred during the pubertal growth spurt and that this could be assessed during the interval between CS3 and CS4.…”

Objective: To estimate and compare the duration of the pubertal growth peak in Class I and Class III subjects. Materials and Methods: The data examined consisted of pretreatment lateral cephalometric records of 218 skeletal Class I or Class III subjects (93 female and 125 male subjects) of white ancestry. The duration of the pubertal peak was calculated from the average chronological age intervals between stages CS3 and CS4 of the cervical vertebral maturation in Class I vs Class III groups (t-test). Results: In skeletal Class I subjects, the pubertal peak had a mean duration of 11 months, whereas in Class III subjects it lasted 16 months. The average difference (5 months) was statistically significant (P , .001). Conclusions:The growth interval corresponding to the pubertal growth spurt (CS3-CS4) was longer in Class III subjects than in subjects with normal skeletal relationships; the larger increases in mandibular length during the pubertal peak reported in the literature for Class III subjects may be related to the longer duration of the pubertal peak.

“…Por tanto, evaluar el potencial de crecimiento individual y determinar el momento óptimo para iniciar un tratamiento, proporciona información esencial para la previsión de los resultados [24][25][26][27]. Por ejemplo, la corrección de la clase II esquelética, o las deficiencias en la altura de la rama mandibular, debe llevarse a cabo cuando la probabilidad de respuesta de crecimiento es alta, es decir, durante el periodo de crecimiento circumpuberal CS3 [25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

Odontol. 2013 diciembre; 9 (edición especial): 7-15.Resumen. La práctica ortodóncica reconoce la importancia de la radiografía cefálica lateral, aunque en realidad la limita a un análisis cuantitativo, por lo cual se realizó una revisión de literatura con el fin de valorar las características morfológicas que a simple vista pueden ser evaluadas en la radiografía y que son herramientas para predecir factores de riesgo, pronóstico y estabilidad. Se concluye que la radiografía cefálica lateral da una visión más amplia de los patrones de crecimiento craneofacial, los cuales pueden ser modificados por diversas estructuras -como la base del cráneo, la postura craneocervical, las vías aéreas y la posición del hueso hioides, sin dejar de valorar las vértebras cervicales y la morfología de la sínfisis mandibular-que se constituyen en factores diagnósticos importantes en el momento de tomar decisiones clínicas. Por tanto, la radiografía cefálica lateral brinda información cualitativa importante que no se puede obviar y que permite llegar a un diagnóstico más acertado.Palabras clave: base del cráneo, hueso hioides, postura craneocervical, radiografía cefálica, sínfisis mandibular, vértebras cervicales, vías aéreas. The Cephalic Radiograph: Beyond a Cephalometric MeasureAbstract. Orthodontic practice recognizes the importance of the cephalic lateral radiograph, although it is actually limited to quantitative analysis. A literature review was made to assess the morphological characteristics that, at first glance, can be evaluated in the radiography and constitute tools for predicting risk factors, prognosis, and stability. The conclusion is that the cephalic lateral radiograph gives a broader view of craniofacial growth patterns, which can be modified by various structures such as skull base, craniocervical posture, airways, and position of the hyoid bone; this without losing sight of the cervical vertebrae and the morphology of the mandibular symphysis, which are important diagnostic factors when making clinical decisions. Cephalic lateral radiography therefore provides important qualitative information that cannot be ignored and which enables accurate diagnosis.

A Comparison of Hand-wrist Bone and Cervical Vertebral Analyses in Measuring Skeletal Maturation

Abstract: Vertebral analysis on a lateral cephalogram is as valid as the hand-wrist bone analysis with the advantage of reducing the radiation exposure of growing subjects.
