AB - ORIGINAL RESEARCH A Comparison of Accuracy of Skeletal Maturity Indicators Using Cone-beam Computed Tomography, Lateral Cephalogram, and Hand-wrist Radiograph in Circumpubertal Dravidian Population 1 2 3 Munaif Vyshyambath , Raghunath Nagasundara Rao , Jyothikiran Hurkadle A b s t r A c t Aims: The study aims to evaluate and compare cervical maturation stage using lateral cephalogram, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT ), and skeletal maturation using hand-wrist radiograph. Materials and methods: Forty-eight patients of circumpubertal Dravidian population were chosen. Subjects were advised to take CBCT of cervical region, lateral cephalogram, and hand-wrist radiograph with adequate protective measures. The CBCT and lateral cephalogram were evaluated using the Lamparski index modified by Hassel and Farman as a reference to determine skeletal maturity using cervical vertebra. Hand-wrist radiograph was evaluated for different stages of maturation according to Fishman’s index. Stages of maturity between hand-wrist radiograph, lateral cephalogram and CBCT were evaluated in circumpubertal male and female subjects for reliability and accuracy. Results: When evaluating skeletal maturity indicator using these three diagnostic aids, it was found that all three were reliable with p value <0.05 in all groups. The accuracy between CBCT, lateral cephalogram, and hand-wrist shows skeletal maturity indicator using CBCT was
