Abstract

Submitted a manuscript based on format as prescribed by University Journal of Dental Sciences. The aim of the present study was to assess and compare skeletal maturity with use of three radiographic techniques and methods i.e Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Lateral Cephalography and hand wrist radiograph middle phalanx of third finger. We concluded, skeletal maturity can be assessed in CBCT or lateral cephalogram reliably along with their primary indications, eliminating hand wrist radiograph for skeletal maturity assessment. This will reduce radiation exposure and cost of treatment to patient.
