A STUDY ON THE COMPARISONS BETWEEN DENTAL CALCIFICATION AND SKELETAL MATURITY

This study was conducted on 342 patients(male 157, female 185)aged 8 to 15 years old, who visited Dankook University Dental Hospital. Pre-orthodontic treatment orthopantomograms were used to assess the dental calcification stages of mandibular 3rd molar, 2nd molar, 2nd premolar and 1st premolar by 8 stages.(by Demirjian) Hand-wrist radiogrms were used to evaluate the skeletal maturity in 11 stages.(by Fishman) Following results were obtained after investigating the correlationship between dental calcification and skeletal maturity. 1. Chronologic age showed high correlation to dental calcification and skeletal maturity. 2. Dental calcification and skeletal maturity showed high correlation and no statistical difference was observed between male and female. 3. SMI stages 1 to 4 showed high statiscal significance to mandibular 2nd molar, 2nd premolar and 1st premolar. SMI stages 5 to 8 showed high stastical significance to mandibular 2nd molar, 2nd premolar. SMI stages 9 to 11 showed high statistical significance to mandibular 3rd molar.
