Abstract
- Objective: To study the relationship between mandibular canine calcification and skeletal maturity.<br />Methods: Hand wrist and mandibular canine radiographs of 106 boys and 152 girls in Beijing area were assessed.<br />Results: Mandibular canine calcification coincides with the initiation of puberty in male (93.8%) and with the deceleration of puberty in female(89.7%). However the coincidence with the indicators of other pubertal stages was less than 50%.<br />Conclusion: Mandibular canine calcification just can give an initial assessment for estimating the timing of puberty.
