Abstract

Objective: To estimate dental maturity using the Demirjian Index for the mandibular third molar and investigate the relationships between dental maturity and skeletal maturity among growing children. Methods: The samples were derived from panoramic, lateral cephalometric and hand-wrist radiographs of 270 female subjects registered as patients at the orthodontic department, dental hospital, Yonsei University. Dental maturity [Demirjian Index (DI)] and skeletal maturity [skeletal maturation indicators (SMIs)] and cervical vertebrae maturation indicators (CVMIs)] were estimated from these radiographs. Results: There was a significant correlation (r = 0.64) between SMIs and DI, and a similar correlation (r = 0.59) was observed between CVMIs and DI (p < 0.001). If DI was above Stage E, then the SMI was above Stage 10 and the CVMI was above Stage 5. There was a weak correlation (r = 0.26) between age at menarche and DI (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in DI among Class I, II or III malocclusions. Conclusions: Dental maturity evaluation using the mandibular third molar will be an adjunctive tool in combination with cervical vertebrae and hand-wrist maturity evaluations.

성장기 환자의 교정 치료에서 바람직한 치료 결과를 얻기 위해서는 성장을 정확하게 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 성장 과정은 개인마다 상당한 차이를 보이기 때문에 성장 평가를 위해서는 연대 연령이 아닌 생리적인 연령을 사용해야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 사춘기 동안 발육하는 하악 제3대구치에서 치아성숙도를 측정하고 성장 평가 지표로서의 그 가치를 평가하고자 하는 데 있다. 연세대학교 치과대학병원 교정과에 내원한 성장기 여자 환자 270명을 대상으로 제3대구치의 치아 성숙도(Demirjian index), 경추의 골 성숙도(CVMI), 수완부 골 성숙도(SMI), 초경 연령 등을 평가하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 Demirjian Index와 SMI, CVMI 간의 상관관계에서 SMI와 Demirjian index (r = 0.64), CVMI와 Demirjian index (r = 0.59)는 통계적으로 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다 (p < 0.001). 그러나 초경 연령과 Demirjian index간의 상관관계(r = 0.26)는 낮았으며 (p < 0.001), Demirjian index를 통해 평가한 제3대구치의 치아성숙도는 I, II, III급 부정교합 간에 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 제3대구치 치관이 완성되고 치근이 형성되기 시작하는 Demirjian index I단계 이상이면 SMI 10단계, CVMI 5단계 이상에 속하였다. 하악 제3대구치의 발육단계를 이용한 치아성숙도 평가는 경추 및 수완부 골성숙도와 조합하여 사용한다면 사춘기 성장 평가에 있어 하나의 보조적인 수단으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
