In this paper, we first obtained the data of each water quality monitoring point in May and July Hassel Sea 2021, analyzed spatial distribution element total phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), transparency (SD), high manganese index (CODmn) chlorophyll a (Chl. a) data, then used integrated trophic state method algal species quotient to evaluate lake. The results were assess lake’s status. showed t...

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether serum osteocalcin levels can be used as a marker for assessing skeletal maturity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample consisted of 60 patients aged 08-20 years (30 males, 30 females) reporting to Department Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, Pedodontics ,Faculty dental sciences , Ramaiah university Applied Bangalore. Lateral cephalometric radiographs were ob...

BACKGROUND Skeletal maturation is an integral part of individual pattern of growth and development and is a continuous process. Peak growth velocity in standing height is the most valid representation of the rate of overall skeletal growth. Ossification changes of hand wrist and cervical vertebrae are the reliable indicators of growth status of individual. The objective of this study was to com...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to assess the skeletal maturity in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to compare it with that of the noncleft children. DESIGN AND SETTING It is an institution based study conducted on randomly selected subjects visiting the hospital for consultation and treatment. PARTICIPANTS A total of 60 children with UCLP (25 boys and 35 gi...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were: to investigate the relationship between mandibular canine calcification stages and skeletal maturity; and to evaluate whether the mandibular canine calcification stages may be used as a reliable diagnostic tool for skeletal maturity assessment. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 151 subjects: 81 females and 70 males, with ages ranging from 9 to 16...

The challenge of treating large osseous defects presents a formidable problem for orthopedic and maxillofacial surgeons. The present method of choice to replace lost tissue is autologous bone grafting, but supplies of autologous bone are limited and harvesting of the graft is associated with donor site morbidities [1]. Artificial biomaterials offer much promise, but do not, by themselves, suppl...

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted with the aim of adapting the methods developed by Martins and Sakima to assess skeletal maturation by cervical vertebrae in the pubertal growth spurt (PGS) curve. It also aimed to test the reliability and agreement between those methods and the method of hand and wrist radiograph when compared two by two and all together.  METHODS The sample comprised 72 ...

The identification of the skeletal maturation stage of the cervical vertebrae has proven an important reference for orthodontic diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to determine the association between the skeletal maturation stage of the cervical vertebrae and types of malocclusion according to the age and gender of participants. A total of 361 individuals (168 males and 193 females) be...
