Abstract EN
The knowledge of the associations between the timing of skeletal maturation and craniofacial growth is of primary importance when planning a functional treatment for most of the skeletal malocclusions.
This cross-sectional study was thus aimed at evaluating whether sagittal and vertical craniofacial growth has an association with the timing of circumpubertal skeletal maturation.
A total of 320 subjects (160 females and 160 males) were included in the study (mean age, 12.3±1.7 years; range, 7.6–16.7 years).
These subjects were equally distributed in the circumpubertal cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) stages 2 to 5.
Each CVM stage group also had equal number of females and males.
Multiple regression models were run for each CVM stage group to assess the significance of the association of cephalometric parameters (ANB, SN/MP, and NSBa angles) with age of attainment of the corresponding CVM stage (in months).
Significant associations were seen only for stage 3, where the SN/MP angle was negatively associated with age (β coefficient, −0.7).
These results show that hyperdivergent and hypodivergent subjects may have an anticipated and delayed attainment of the pubertal CVM stage 3, respectively.
However, such association remains of little entity and it would become clinically relevant only in extreme cases.
