“…Further investigation of skeletal maturation among Down syndrome individuals has become necessary as various authors have reported different rate of maturation in these individuals. 9,[10][11][12][13][14][15][25][26][27][28] The acceleration in the rate of growth at 12 years of age and early attainment of maturity at 15 years of age as observed in this present study is suggestive of a short period of active growth among Down syndrome male individuals, and this corroborates the findings of De Moraes et al 9 Orthodontic treatment for these individuals should therefore be properly timed to avoid missing the short window of active skeletal growth among Down syndrome male individuals. Also, advanced skeletal maturation observed among male Down syndrome individuals at 15 in this current study is similar to the findings reported by Sannomiya et al 8 The outcomes of this present study further emphasized the influence of assessment techniques on the outcome of skeletal maturation determination.…”

“…[30][31][32] Although this present study also observed a tendency to exhibit delay in skeletal maturation among Down syndrome individuals, the differences observed in this present study were however not significant as against the significant delay in the dental calcification stages observed in the studies conducted by other authors. 25,28 The different methodology and sample population in the studies 25,28 and this present study could have accounted for the differences observed.…”

Background: The assessment of skeletal maturity is important in the timing of orthodontic treatment especially in the modification of dento-facial growth. The use of cervical vertebrae as a method of assessment of skeletal maturity has rarely been used among Down Syndrome. Objective: To assess skeletal maturity among individuals with Down Syndrome using the cervical vertebrae maturation stages. Methods: The study was conducted among 21 Down Syndrome with mean ages of 11.70 ± 1.83 years (males) and 13.64 ± 1.75 years (female); and 21 control individuals with mean ages of 12.00 ± 2.00 years (male), and 13.50 ± 1.90 years (female). The independent t-test and chi-square test were used to determine significant differences among the continuous (age) and categorical variables (cervical vertebrae maturation stages) respectively when matched with gender and chronological age. Fischer exact test was used when an expected frequency presentation was <5. A p-value of < 0.05 was set as statistically significant. Results: Down Syndrome males had delayed maturation at 11 years but accelerated at 12 with early attainment of maturity at 15 years. Down Syndrome female had a delay tendency in skeletal maturation from 11–15 years of age. Overall, Down Syndrome had a 1.242 probability of either having a delay or advancement in skeletal maturation which was not statistically significant. Conclusively, the skeletal maturation pattern between Down syndrome patients and normal individuals was not statistically different. Conclusion: The average timing for commencement of orthodontic treatment especially growth modification for normal individuals can be applied for individuals with Down Syndrome as this present study did not show any statistically significant difference in their overall skeletal maturation.Down syndrome.

“…There were 14 studies found from the conducted search, which summarized in Table 1. The age coverage of the most study was young adult and children (71%) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] . Only three studies which involved age range more than 25 years [21][22][23] .…”

“…The age's range and sample options are related to which age estimation method should be used in the studies. The most age estimation method applied in Indonesian population was Demirjian's method, with or without modification (35.71%) 11,12,15,16,21 , followed by TCI-Benindra's method (21.42%) [18][19][20] , and the other methods (7.14%-13%), as presented in Figure 1. Panoramic radiograph was the most used sample for the studies (53%) 11,12,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21]23 , followed by clinical examination (17%) 13,14,24 , periapical radiograph (12%) 18,19 , lateral cephalometric radiograph (12%) 18,19 , and CBCT (6%) 22 (Figure 2).…”

Age is one of the important parts of the identification process, which is an requirement in legal framework, criminal investigation, and, in health care, to provide significant information for diagnosis and treatment planning. Age estimation is a major study in forensic, especially when the information related to the deceased is unavailable. Dental is one of the strong variables which could be used in estimating the age of living or deceased. Dental age estimation methods were mainly based on the changes in tooth development which influenced by diverse internal and external factor. Therefore, studies of dental age estimation of various population were resulted different discrepancies. This paper reviews about studies of dental age estimation specifically in Indonesian population, including the population age, age estimation methods, study sample, and studies’ findings.

Down syndrome (DS) is a condition that occurs due to an abnormal number of chromosomes which is characterized by the presence of an additional chromosome. A child diagnosed with DS has three distinctive characters, namely having a low Intelligence Quotient (IQ), physical and mental limitations and having a weak immune system. Overweight and obesity are nutritional problems that often occur in people with DS, so it is necessary to study how the health risks that can be experienced by DS sufferers with obesity and how to overcome or minimize these risks. This Systematic Review study was conducted using the PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, and Google Scholar search databases. The search was limited to articles in peer-reviewed journals and literature reviews, which were written in English and Indonesian between 2012 and 2022. The study results showed that more than 40 percent of obesity occurred in children with DS. Obesity in people with DS can increase the risk of other health problems such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adults with DS. In addition, dyslipidemia, hyperinsulinemia, NAFLD, Alzheimer's and tumors, and coronary heart disease are frequently reported in obese DS. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent nutritional problems by parents which includes parenting, feeding practices, and eating patterns. In addition, physical activity is needed for children with DS, especially for those who suffer from obesity. Fulfillment of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle throughout pregnancy is also needed to ensure the health of the child born and reduce the risk of having a baby with DS.
