Correlation between Dental Maturity and Cervical Vertebral Maturity amongst 7 – 15 Year Old Kashmiri Children
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between stages of calcification of teeth and the cervical vertebral maturity stages in Kashmiri children 7-15 years of age. Orthopantomograph and lateral skull cephalograms of 77 patients (40 females and 37 males from 7-15 years of age) were examined. Dental maturity was evaluated by calcification stages of the mandibular cuspids, first, second bicuspids and second molars. Skeletal maturity was assessed by the cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) stages. Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis. The mean chronologic age of males was significantly higher than females in each CVM stage. The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients between dental maturity and cervical vertebral maturity ranged from 0.403 to 0.531 for girls and from 0.461 to 0.512 for boys. In girls, the mandibular second molar had the highest and the canine the lowest correlation. In boys, the mandibular second premolar had the highest and canine the lowest correlation. Tooth calcification stage was significantly correlated with cervical vertebral maturation stage. The development of the mandibular second molar in females and that of the mandibular second premolar in males had the strongest correlations with cervical vertebral maturity. Keywords: teeth, Kashmiri children, dental maturity, cervical vertebral maturity, second molar.
