The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the skeletal maturation determined by cervical vertebrae and hand-wrist, and to explore the possibility of using lateral cephalograms to evaluate physical development stages of orthodontic patients.
The samples were derived from 170 pairs of lateral cephalograms and hand-wrist radiographs taken before orthodontic treatment (52 males, 118 females; 5-18 years of age). Cervical vertebral development was evaluated by the method of Hassel and Farman. Hand-wrist radiographs were determined according to the method of Grave and Brown's system. The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients were estimated for the samples, and for males and females respectively to detect the relationship between the two ways of skeletal maturation measurements using SPSS 11.0 software package.
The spearman correlation coefficient was 0.918(P<0.01) between cervical vertebrae maturation and hand-wrist maturation for sexes combined, and 0.858 (P<0.01) for males and 0.882(P<0.01) for females respectively.
The cervical vertebrae analysis on lateral cephalogram was a valid way on orthodontic practice to evaluate physical development stage of growing patients.
本研究旨在调查通过颈椎和手腕确定的骨骼成熟度之间的相关性,并探讨使用头颅侧位片评估正畸患者身体发育阶段的可能性。
样本来自正畸治疗前拍摄的170对头颅侧位片和手腕X线片(男性52例,女性118例;年龄5 - 18岁)。采用哈塞尔和法曼的方法评估颈椎发育情况。手腕X线片根据格雷夫和布朗系统的方法进行判定。使用SPSS 11.0软件包对样本以及分别对男性和女性估计斯皮尔曼等级相关系数,以检测两种骨骼成熟度测量方法之间的关系。
颈椎成熟度与手腕成熟度之间的斯皮尔曼相关系数,总体为0.918(P<0.01),男性为0.858(P<0.01),女性为0.882(P<0.01)。
头颅侧位片上的颈椎分析是正畸实践中评估生长中患者身体发育阶段的有效方法。
