Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Aim: to assess dental age using Nolla's method and to find the correlation amongst the skeletal, dental, and chronological ages. Material and methods: Ninety Indian healthy children in the age group 9–13 years, comprising equal number of males and females, were included in the study. e children were radiographed for hand-wrist of the right hand and intraoral periapical X-ray for right permanent maxillary and mandibular canine. Results: ere was high correlation between skeletal maturation indicator and canine calcification stages for both male and female children (0.635, 0.891). Conclusion: Chronological age showed inconsistent correlation with dental and skeletal ages.It was concluded that canine calcification stages can also be used for assessing skeletal maturity.
