DISCUSSION In this study, the usefulness of dental maturation assessment as a diagnostic test using panoramic radiographs as an approach to determine skeletal maturation was explored, with a reliable methodology. A significant positive correlation between dental and cervical maturity was obtained for both genders. This is consistent with correlations found in several other publications 12,18–21,23,24.

index estimates the scores on an eight-item-pairs with the highest bivariate inter-item correlations from the development sample. The absolute difference of the item ratings is totaled and the scores are above the cutoff, the ratings are marked as potentially inconsistent. The self-report cutoff of the scores should be chosen in a way that less than 5% of the normative score sampling was rated as potentially inconsistent [47].
