Abstract
Abstract Demirjian’s method is the most frequently used method of dental maturity estimation. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the method in a sample of Romanian children. The study was conducted on X-rays of 126 children with ages ranging from 5 to 15 years old. Dental age was determined and t-tests were used to assess the difference between dental age and chronological age within each age category. The boys in our study have advanced dental age in all age groups, while the girls have only in the age categories 7 to 8 years, 9 to 10 years and 11 to 12 years. The results of our study show that the method is appropriate for Romanian children and that these standards are applicable only in certain age groups. Further research is required on a larger sample.
