“…The use of skeletal age has been shown to be more reliable and accurate than the use of chronological age in assessing an individual's progress toward ma- turity. 11 In recent years, evaluation of cervical vertebrae has been increasingly used to determine skeletal maturation. Almost all previous evaluations with cervical vertebrae on cephalometric radiographs used the method reported by Lamparski 9 (1972).…”

The aim of this study was to establish two new formulas for objectively evaluating skeletal maturation of cervical vertebrae in female and male Brazilian subjects using lateral cephalometric radiographs. The sample included 128 girls and 110 boys, aged 7.0 to 15.9 years, from the files of the Oral Radiology Clinic, Piracicaba Dental School, University of Campinas (Unicamp), SP, Brazil. The cervical vertebral bodies of C3 and C4 were traced and measured and regression formulas were developed in order to determine cervical vertebral bone age. Another sample of lateral teleradiographs and hand-wrist radiographs of 55 girls and 54 boys (aged 7.0 to 15.9 years) was used to verify the reliability of the developed regression formulas, as compared with bone age assessed using the Tanner et al.15 (2001) Method (TW3) in hand-wrist radiographs. The analysis of both the boys and girls data (ANOVA) showed no statistical difference between cervical vertebral bone age, bone age, and chronological age, indicating that these formulas can be used in this population (p=0.5721 and p=0.6007 for girls and boys, respectively). Female cervical vertebral bodies of C3 and C4 increased in an accelerated manner from 10 to 13 years. Analysis of the male sample showed that C3 measurements increased in an accelerated manner from 12 to 15 years. The C4 measurements, however, did not increase at all. Using cervical vertebral bone age it is possible to evaluate skeletal maturation objectively in cephalometric radiographs.

“…These ages are estimated from the degree of maturation of different tissue systems. Sexual maturation characteristics, height (stature), skeletal age, dental development, and skeletal development are some of the most common means that have been used to identify stages of growth 10,11 Developmental stage can be estimated by many ways like estimation the development stage of pisiform carbal bone, iliac crest and Hand-Wrist bones 12,13 .…”

The present study tried to verify the most familiar method to orthodontist forpubertal stage estimation which is very important in orthodontic diagnosis and plan byusing Hand – Wrist radiographs and Orthopantomography (OPG). The sample of thisstudy has been selected from patients who were attending the Orthodontic departmentand Pedodontic and Preventive Dentistry department at the College of Dentistry –Baghdad University. Before starting the study a legal approval was obtained and theobjective of the study was explained to the parents of each participant. The sampleconsisted of 90 subjects (45 females and 45 males), of certain criteria, between 10 and16 years of age. The subjects of the sample were of Iraqi Arab origin; the radiographswere interpreted by specialist radiologist. Developmental stage of mandibular left 2ndmolar show a higher correlation with skeletal maturation stage of hand and wristbones (r=0.9) than the canine (r=0.7) for both males and females and can beconsidered as reliable indicator for maturational stage of individual. The skeletal ageis matched the chronological age at the pubertal growth spurt approximately 12 yearsfor females and 14 years for males, and then the sample had a tendency towardsadvanced maturation with mean skeletal age of the participating subjects being greaterthan the chronological age at the maturity stages. Developmental stage of mandibularleft 2nd molar might be considered as reliable indicator for maturational stage ofindividual, For the sample of this study, the skeletal age is matched the chronologicalage at the pubertal growth spurt approximately 12 years for females and 14 years formales.
