| Sumario: | This study aims to analyze 800 lateral skull radiographs to establish the correlation between chronological age and bone maturation by studying cervical vertebrae according to the Baccetti method in patients aged 8-17 years who attended a radiological center in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. The results reflected a positive correlation between chronological age and bone maturation stage, with an increase in the mean age as it progressed through the stages. The peak mandibular growth was observed at CS3 stage, reached in an age range of 13.4 ± 1.1 years in both males and females. No significant differences in bone maturation were found between both sexes. These findings highlight the utility of lateral skull radiography in assessing bone maturation, in orthodontic and orthopedic diagnosis and treatment. |
