Comparisons between dental and skeletal ages. 1991

Data from 694 untreated children seen in a private orthodontic practice were used to analyze associations between dental and skeletal maturity. Dental ages were obtained by comparison with Bolton Standards; skeletal ages were assessed using the Greulich-Pyle atlas. In some children the difference between the dental and skeletal ages was as large as 36 months; the difference was less than 6 months in fewer than 40% of the children. Regression analyses showed only moderate associations between these measures. One measure of maturity cannot be inferred from the other.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

It includes two principal mechanisms of bone growth: growth in length of long bones at the epiphyseal cartilages and growth in thickness by depositing new bone (OSTEOGENESIS) with the actions of OSTEOBLASTS and OSTEOCLASTS.
