| Abstract | ||
| Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between dental maturity stages and CVMS digitally wise Subjects and Methods: The present retrospective study was conducted on digital Panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiographs obtained from 50 pediatric patients (24 males and 26 females) at active growth period from 7 to 12 years with a mean age of 9.32y. Inclusion criteria included availability of radiographs with adequate quality denoting the patients complete mandibular teeth set either erupted or unerupted. Exclusion criteria included any medical history affecting the teeth development, bony pathological condition, any missed mandibular permanent tooth except the wisdom ones and distorted radiographic images. Results: There is a positive correlation between dental maturity stages and CVM. Females had higher correlation coefficient than males. Dental maturation stages, F, G, and H, seemed to be more frequent and appeared earlier in females. In the current study; the mandibular second premolar tooth advancement had the highest correlation coefficient with the maturation stages of the cervical vertebra among male participants (0.649), among female participants; the advancement of mandibular first premolar tooth shown the highest correlation coefficient with CVMS (0.720). Dental maturation stage F showed the highest correlation with CVMS 2 among females and males. Conclusion: There is a high correlation between the tooth calcification stages and CVM stages regarding the pediatric Egyptian patients, where CVM stage2- F dental maturation stage showed the highest correlation among both females and males | ||
