Abstract
<h3>Objectives</h3> To investigate the relationship between the chronology of dental age and the chronological age of children from panoramic radiographs. <h3>Study Design</h3> This was a cross-sectional and observational study. The study consisted of 20 digital panoramic radiographic images dated from the 2018, obeying the following criteria: patient age and panoramic radiographs with good image quality. We then obtained access to patients' files to obtain their chronological age. The data were divided by sex and analyzed statistically through the variance of 2 factors (chronological and dental age). <h3>Results</h3> When analyzing female patients, there was an advance in dental age up to 2 years from the chronological age. In male patients, there was a greater similarity between ages. During the analysis, similarity was found in the parity of the arcs, showing bilateral symmetry. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The result showed a high correlation between dental age and chronological age in male patients. This condition is useful to monitor dental-facial health in sync with postnatal growth and development. No significant differences were observed between arches during the eruption of permanent teeth.
