BACKGROUND This cross sectional study was performed to evaluate dental ages and incidence of dental anomalies in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 25 ALL patient who passed at least 2 years of chemotherapy and 25 healthy sex and age matched children were evaluated. Dental age as well as dental anomalies in shape, size, number, and struct...

background: the aim of the present study was to estimate chronological age based on third molar development and to determine the association between dental age and third molar calcifi cation stages. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 505 digital panoramic radiographs of 223 males (44.2%) and 282 females (55.8%) between the age of 6 and 17 were selected from patients who were ...

Identification of a person “living or dead” is an important task in forensic medicine and it can be partial complete. There are several situations where establishment complete identification not possible such as plane crashes, railway accidents, building collapses, burnt mutilated bodies etc. In required certain major criteria's taken into consideration age, gender, race stature person. Determi...

AIM This study was conducted to determine whether the standards of dental maturation given by Demirjian et al. are applicable to North Indian children and to assess the relationship between dental age and chronological age. METHODS In this study OPGs of 100 females of 8-14 years were taken, and dental age was calculated according to the Demirjian method. Chronological age was recorded and c...

INTRODUCTION Information on the origin of dental fear and uncooperative behavior in a child patient is important for behavior management strategy. The effects of environmental factors have been comparatively less studied, especially in an Indian scenario. OBJECTIVES To find the association of (1) age, gender, family characteristics, previous medical, and dental experiences with dental fear an...

UNLABELLED Dental age is important for treatment planning in the specialities of pedodontics and orthodontics. Although, Demirjian's method was considered standard for dental age estimation, it may not be reliable for all population. AIM The goal of the study was to evaluate the reliability of Demir-jian's, Haavikko's and Willems method of dental age estimation methods in Visakhapatnam (Andhr...

Background: Biological age markers are a crucial indicator whether children decelerated in growth tempo. Skeletal maturation is the standard measure. Yet, it relies on exposing to x-radiation. Dental eruption potential, but highly debated, radiation free alternative. 
 Objectives: We assess interrelationship between dental and other maturational markers. hypothesize that correlates with bo...

In studying growth and developmental processes in dental research, variables other than simple chronological age must often be taken into account if we are to adequately characterize differences in the developmental patterns of the groups under consideration. As demonstrated in this article, cohort, time-of-measurement, and learning (testing) effects may significantly interfere with our ability...

introduction: determining the skeletal age and remaining growth potential of patients are important factors in orthodontic treatment. evaluating cervical vertebrae development is a reliable method for determining skeletal age. this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between dental calcification and stages of skeletal maturation. materials and methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study...
