introdouction: age estimation is an important issue in forensics, particularly for treatment planning and determining patients’ rights. radiographic evaluation of the third molar developmental stage is a significant criterion for age estimation. the pattern of tooth development is largely heritable and varies from race to race. the objective of this study was to radiographically examine and com...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were: (i) to determine the relation between chronological and functional age; (ii) to examine the association between chronological age and work outcomes; and (iii) to examine the association between functional age and work outcomes. An overview of the most reported work outcomes is outlined. METHODS Chronological age refers to the calendar age; functional ag...

SUMMARY In order to evaluate psychomotor activity and intelligent quotient in schoolchildren of iodine deficient region, 95 children from Kiga and 103 from Keshar villages and 73 from Razi school in Tehran were studied. In Kiga there is moderately severe iodine deficiency with retarded physical growth and decreased thyroid function. These students had more errors in Bender-Gestalt (BG) test an...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between hand-wrist skeletal age, chronological age and cervical skeletal age as assessed by lateral cephalometric radiograph. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lateral cephalometric and left hand-wrist radiographs of 393 Caucasian children from 8 to 18 years old were evaluated. On the hand-wrist radiographs average values of the children's...

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...

Background and aims. Tooth development is widely used in determining age and state of maturity. Dental age is of high importance in forensic and pediatric dentistry and also orthodontic treatment planning .The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of four radiographic age estimation methods. Materials and methods. Orthopantomographic images of 537 healthy children (age: 3.9-14.5 years o...

Introduction: Cervical vertebrae are used as a reliable tool to assess the skeletal maturation of an individual and predict maximum growth potential.Aim objective: This study aimed estimate bone age by measuring 3rd 4th cervical vertebrae(C3, C4) dimensions on cephalometric radiographs.Materials Methods: A total 100 girls in group 7-15 years were taken into consideration. Using radiographs, we ...
