Skeletal maturation evaluation using mandibular third molar development in adolescents

Abstract: Objective: To estimate dental maturity using the Demirjian Index for the mandibular third molar and investigate the relationships between dental maturity and skeletal maturity among growing children. Methods: The samples were derived from panoramic, lateral cephalometric and hand-wrist radiographs of 270 female subjects registered as patients at the orthodontic department, dental hospital, Yonsei University. Dental maturity [Demirjian Index (DI)] and skeletal maturity [skeletal maturation indicators (SMIs)] an… Show more

“…Previous researchers have reported that dental maturity is associated with CA and BA (16171825). In this study, we revealed that a higher DI value was associated with higher CA, BA, and difference between BA and CA.…”

“…Dental developments and maturity have been used to assess skeletal maturity after the development of a new dental age assessment by Demirjian et al (13). In this context, dental maturity was assessed using morphological differences in the calcification stages of the mandibular canine, second premolar, second molar, or third molar (1415), and several studies have reported strong correlation between skeletal and dental maturity (161718). Dental maturity is affected by several diseases and conditions.…”

“…The objective of pooling age estimation methods was to report the obtained age results and to interpret them in a conclusive age outcome with narrowed prediction intervals. For orthodontic treatment planning, correlations between skeletal and dental development were frequently investigated in an attempt to detect the maturity degree of the examined patient [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. For sub-adult age estimation purposes, minor research was performed based on samples, including living individuals with known chronological age on which at the same moment dental and other age predictors were collected [4].…”

“…Height has limited value in the immediate clinical judgment of a child's maturity stage, because morphological indicators can be applied only after serial recording of height. In orthodontics handwrist and cervical vertebrae radiographs are commonly used for the assessment of skeletal development [2]. Lamparski insisted that there is a strong relationship between cervical vertebrae maturity and hand-wrist maturity [4].…”

“…Knowing the moment of the active growth of a child is important and useful for both paedodontic and orthodontic everyday practice [1]. Considerable variations in development among children of the same chronological age have introduced the concept of biological or physiological age [2].…”
