Titanium miniplates, normally used in orthognathic surgery for osteotomy fixation, were placed in the maxilla and mandible for skeletal anchorage to orthodontically intrude severely hypererupted unopposed molars.
This study's objective was to familiarize the profession with determining skeletal maturation and skeletal age, and predicting growth potential by using cervical vertebrae images of lateral cephalograms. The investigation was done through repeated evaluations of 30 randomly selected, pretreatment lateral cepaholometric radiographs. The accuracy of determining skeletal age and growth potential with lateral cephalograms was found to be R=0.98 (highly accurate) by statistical analysis.
