Evaluación del crecimiento del maxilar y la mandíbula con cefalometría de Harvold en radiografías cefalométricas en contraste con la etapa de crecimiento puberal basada en el análisis de Fishman en radiografías carpales obtenidas del Burlington Growth Centre.

摘要

The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between maxillary and mandibular growth with Fishman's pubertal development of the hand-wrist to determine the appropriate age for orthopedic treatment.A sample of 40 patients was evaluated, each patient was evaluated at the ages of 9,12, 14 and 16 years, from the Burlintong Growth Center, of the University of Toronto Canada. Hand-wrist and cephalic radiographs were used to apply Harvold's cephalometric analysis and Fishman's carpal analysis.The results showed the correlation between maxillary and mandibular growth with the bone maturation phases of the Fishman analysis. The growth of men in the maxilar (H: 12.5% and M: 9.02%) as in the mandible (H: 15.5% and M: 9.85%) is different than the women, being greater in the masculine sex. The female sex shows a precocious maturation and in a shorter time than the masculine. The phases of maturation of Fishman, it was found that phase 6 is where maxillary (H: 5.13% and M: 5.72) and mandibular (H: 5.90% and M: 5.07) have a greatest growth, appearing at 12 years in women and at 14 years in men.
