RIOS VILLASIS, L.K.  e  SOLDEVILLA GALARZA, L.. Relationship between stages of skeletal maturation and tooth calcification. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.1, pp.23-28. ISSN 2340-3152.

Introduction: The purposeof the study was to determine the degree of correlation between the Demirjian Stages of Calcification of mandibular cuspids, first and second bicuspids and the stages of carpal bone maturation Fishman. Material y methods: The sample calculated at a level of significance of 95% (p<0.05) consisted of double sets of panoramic and wrist radiographs (41 males, 56.94% y 31 females 43.06%) taken the same day. The sample was subdivided according to sex and the side to which each tooth analyzed belonged. Spearman correlation test and tables of frequency distribution were used. Results: The correlation found was of significance in all cases, with the higher Fishman correlation found in the left cuspid (0.766) and the lowest correlation in the right second bicuspid (0.581). The higher correlation due to dental calcification was found between the cupids of both sides (0.985). Demirjian's G calcification stage coincided with the female pubertal growth spurt (stage 6 of Fishman), and males coincided with calcification the sesamoid (stage 4 of Fishman). Conclusion: We conclude that there is a high significance correlation between the stages of calcification of mandibular cuspids, first and second bicuspids and the stages of carpal bone maturation Fishman.
