ABSTRACT

Objective: The aims of this retrospective study were to determine compliance with dental and chronological ages and to analyze the relationships between dental age and orthodontic sagittal anomalies. Materials and Methods: A total of 221 subjects between the ages of 7 and 15.9 years (165 girls and 156 boys) were included in the study. The dental age of seven left mandibular teeth was assessed according to the Demirjian method. The maxillary protrusion, mandibular protrusion, maxillo-mandibular and vertical plane angles were measured from cephalometric films. Results: The mean difference between the chronological age and dental age in female patients was 0.94 years and 0.33 years in male patients (P < 0.01). No differences between the sagittal classification groups were found. There was no relationship between dental age and the SNA° or the GoGn-SN°. A statistically significant negative relationship was found between dental age and the SNB° and there was a significant linear relationship between dental age and the ANB°. Conclusion: Dental age in girls and boys has been estimated to be more advanced than chronological age in all classes and dental maturation advanced in cases with a tendency to develop Class II malocclusions.

Key words:

Chronological age - Demirjian method - dental age - orthodontic anomaly
