Dentofacial Orthopedics, Materials and Methods: The Panoramic and intraoral periapical radiographs and lateral cephalogram of Government Dental College and 240 subjects (120 males and 120 females) with age group between 8 to 17 years were examined. The Hospital, Afzalgunj, Hyderabad, Calcification stages of mandibular second molar were rated according to Demirjian index (DI) and Telangana, India skeletal maturity were determined using Cervical vertebrae maturation index (CVMI) given by Hassel and Farman. Narasimha lakshmi M Results: A highly significant association was found between CVMI and DI. DI stage E corresponded to Department of Orthodontics and stage 2 of CVMI (pre-pubertal growth spurt). DI stages F and G corresponded to stage 3 and 4 of CVMI Dentofacial Orthopedics, (pubertal growth spurt). DI Stage H corresponded to CVMI stage 5 and 6 (end of pubertal growth spurt). Government Dental College and Conclusion: A highly significant association exists between DI and CVMI.
