Abstract
Third Molar Maturation Stages in Correlation with Cervical Vertebra Maturation Stages in a Saudi Sample
Highlights
Determination of the age is of forensic importance, in orthodontic treatment planning, the relationship between skeletal and dental development are examined to detect the degree of maturity of the patient
Very few studies [6,7] are done to evaluate the relationship between tooth calcification stage and cervical vertebra maturation stage
The purpose of this present study is to evaluate the correlation between the cervical vertebra maturation (CVM) stages method and dental maturity using tooth calcification stages of third molars
Summary
Determination of the age is of forensic importance, in orthodontic treatment planning, the relationship between skeletal and dental development are examined to detect the degree of maturity of the patient. The orthodontic treatment is most favorable and effective during growth and the assessment of growth is significant in treatment planning for dental and maxillofacial malocclusion [1,2]. Several features such as body height, weight and sexual characteristics, dental and skeletal development are used to evaluate the pubertal growth. Analysis of cervical vertebrae is extensively used to assess skeletal maturity due to its reproducibility from a routine diagnostic lateral cephalogram for orthodontic treatment [3,4]. The purpose of this present study is to evaluate the correlation between the CVM stages method and dental maturity using tooth calcification stages of third molars
