Abstract

Accurate measurement of skeletal maturity is critical to understand the possible etiology, diagnosis, modal¬ity, timing of treatment, and its eventual outcome of various skeletal abnormalities. In Orthodontics growth prediction is an assessment of the amount of growth to be expected. Some important clin¬ical decisions whether to extract or not to extract, use of orthopedic functional appliances, fixed-functional appliances, and some surgical decisions are based on growth of an individual. In this review we researches want to highlight the most important, clinically relevant and easy to use methods of age estimation.
