Abstract: (25 Views)
Introduction: Using chronological age as the sole measure is insufficient for dental growth planning. The Cervical Vertebral Maturation Index (CVMI), assessed through lateral cephalometric images, predicts growth spurts by examining the second to fourth cervical vertebrae across six stages. The aim of this study was to find the relationship between CVMI and anteroposterior facial growth spurts in 8–15-year-old boys and girls.
Materials & Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed 60 lateral cephalometric radiographs (30 boys, 30 girls). Participants had a skeletal Class I relationship. CVMI stages were determined, and anteroposterior facial dimensions were measured manually. Growth changes were analyzed across CVMI stages using ANOVA and the Tukey test (α=0.05).
Results: A significant relationship was found between CVMI and maxillary/mandibular growth spurts (p=0.001). However, there was no significant relationship between cranial base dimensions CVMI in both groups.
Conclusion: A noticeable growth spurt in the anteroposterior dimension of the mandible is CVMI stage 3 to 4, in both boys and girls. In maxilla for boys, it aligns with the transition from CVMI stage 2 to 3, while for girls, it occurs between stages 3 and 4.
Keywords: Vertebra, Spine, Cephalometry
