Abstract

Abstract: Children and adolescents receive varying levels of support and punishment when experiencing situations that classify them as defendants or victims. Age information is crucial for defining these cases. The objective was to apply the second (I2M) and third (I3M) molar maturity indices to diagnose the age of 12, and find out the cutoff points capable of generating better predictions among Brazilians. This observational cross-sectional study analyzed panoramic radiographs from the five geographic regions of Brazil. The radiographs were of individuals between 10 and 15 years old, taken between 2013 and 2019. The sample consisted of 125 images of each sex (n = 250), 50 from each geographic region, obtained for the purpose of clinical and/or orthodontic diagnosis and having the mandibular left second and third molars. Data collection followed the I3M methodology based on the measurements made on the second (I2M) and third (I3M) molars, using ImageJ®. The cutoff points found for the I2M, I3M, and I2M × I3M were 0.554 (AUC, 88.5%; 95% CI, 84.00-93.00), 0.519 (AUC, 77.8%; 95% CI, 76.14-79.46), and 0.699 (AUC, 88.4%; 95% CI, 84.48-92.32), respectively. The cutoffs by I2M, I3M, and I2M × I3M are sufficiently accurate for practical application and diagnosis of the age of 12 among individuals aged 10 to 15 in Brazil.

摘要:儿童和青少年在遇到被归类为被告或受害者的情况时,会得到不同程度的支持和惩罚。年龄信息对于界定这些情况至关重要。本研究的目的是应用第二(I2M)和第三(I3M)臼齿成熟度指数来诊断 12 岁儿童的年龄,并找出能够更好地预测巴西人年龄的临界点。这项观察性横断面研究分析了巴西五个地区的全景X光片。这些照片的拍摄时间为 2013 年至 2019 年,拍摄对象年龄在 10 岁至 15 岁之间。样本包括男女各 125 张照片(n = 250),每个地理区域 50 张,照片的目的是进行临床和/或正畸诊断,照片上有下颌左侧第二和第三磨牙。数据收集遵循 I3M 方法,该方法基于使用 ImageJ® 对第二(I2M)和第三(I3M)磨牙进行的测量。I2M、I3M 和 I2M × I3M 的临界点分别为 0.554(AUC,88.5%;95% CI,84.00-93.00)、0.519(AUC,77.8%;95% CI,76.14-79.46)和 0.699(AUC,88.4%;95% CI,84.48-92.32)。I2M、I3M 和 I2M × I3M 的临界值足够准确,可用于实际应用和诊断巴西 10-15 岁人群的 12 岁年龄。
