| Summary: | Introduction: Orthodontics includes the study of the
growth and development of the dentofacial complex
particularly and the growth and development of the body
generally. Overall growth and development is recognized
as one of the most important factors in Orthodontics.
The early prevention and interception of dentofacial
deformities is dependent upon the accurate interception
of the inherent facio-skeletal pattern and overall growth
and development.
Material and Methods: Skeletal maturity was asessed
by Tanner-Whitehouse and Healy method TW2 on110
Boys and 110 Girls of prepubertal age (11-13 years). Mean
skeletal age was estimated and standards of skeletal
age,height and weight were computed and given for every
six months of chronological age.
Discussion: Skeletal maturity in Boys at pre pubertal
age can be accurately assessed by RUS (TW2) method.
Skeletal maturity in Girls at prepubertal age can be
accurately assessed by 20 bone TW2 method The mean
skeletal age is 12.10±1.60 at mean chronological age of
11.94±0.71 in Boys (RUS).
The mean skeletal age is 13.62±0.99 at mean chronological
age of 12.10±0.64 in Girls. (20-B) Both Azamgarh Boys
and Girls TW2 show advanced skeletal age than the
chronological age.
Conclusion: Both Azamgarh Boys and Girls are 11 months
more matured than the British population(TW2 standards).
Azamgarh Boys are 6 months and Girls are 12 months more
matured than the Australian population.
Azamgarh Girls had a mean of 4 months advanced skeletal
age then the Boys. |
