conclusions the relationship between calcification of tooth and maturation of cervical bones was significant. this suggested that tooth calcification stages from panoramic radiographs might be clinically useful as a maturity indicator. results all correlation values obtained were statistically significant (p < 0.001). correlations between dental development and skeletal maturity stage due to cv...

conclusion the relationship between calcification of teeth and maturation of cervical bones was significant. bone maturation can be predicted by using teeth calcification stages, especially in the second molar, first molar and lateral incisor. results correlations between the two stages were observed in the first and second premolars, canine and central incisors. all these correlations were sig...

background prediction of skeletal growth is necessary for growth modification and surgical orthodontic treatments and is usually done by assessing skeletal maturity indicators in hand-wrist radiographs. the use of growth stages of cervical vertebrae in lateral cephalograms has been suggested to avoid overexposure. objectives this study seeks to assess the degree of agreement between hand-wrist ...

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 ...

Radiologist always examines X-ray to determine abnormal changes in cervical, lumbar & thoracic vertebrae. Osteophyte (bony growth) may appear at the corners of vertebrae so that vertebral shape becomes abnormal. This paper presents the idea from Image processing techniques such as customised Hough transform which will be used for segmentation which should be independent of rotation, scale, nois...

AIM Many studies have been made to evaluate the growth, development and maturation of cervical vertebrae. These studies make clear how those vertebrae have growth patterns and centre of ossification similar to those in carpal bones, therefore cervical vertebrae can be used to determine bone age. The aim of the present study is the observation of cervical vertebrae in cephalometric radiographs t...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) of cervical vertebrae in a population-stratified manner and correlate with that of the lumbar vertebrae. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five hundred and ninety-eight healthy volunteers (254 males, 344 females), ranging from 20 to 64 years of age, were recruited for volumetric BMD (vBMD) measurements by quantitative computed tomography. Basic info...

Spondylolisthesis of the fourth cervical vertebra is reported in a thirty-four-year-old woman. Only one other case at this level has been found in the literature, but others have been recorded of the sixth cervical vertebra.

INTRODUCTION Biological age is an important parameter for growth and development assessment. It can be evaluated through the observation of radiographic changes in skeletal maturation of cervical vertebrae. OBJECTIVE This study aims to: a) verify if there is correlation between growth curve and the stages of bone age of animals used in laboratories, by evaluating radiographs of the cervical v...
