Tooth growth may reveal skeletal maturity, study hints
NCT ID NCT07141602
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether the calcification stages of the lower second molar can reliably indicate skeletal maturity in Egyptian adolescents aged 9 to 18. Researchers will compare dental X-rays with cervical vertebrae maturation index from lateral cephalometric X-rays in 212 participants. The goal is to see if dental development can serve as a practical tool for assessing bone age without additional radiation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simpler way to assess bone age using dental X-rays, reducing the need for hand-wrist radiographs.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may only apply to the Egyptian population and need validation in other groups.
