Comparative effectiveness of cervical vertebral maturation and hand-wrist radiography in assessing bone age in patients with amelogenesis imperfecta: a retrospective analysis

Key Points

• Bone age assessment using cervical vertebral maturation is effective for patients with amelogenesis imperfecta, highlighting its potential benefits.
• The analysis shows that both cervical vertebral maturation and hand-wrist radiography can determine bone age accurately in this population.
• Retrospective analysis was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two radiographic techniques.
• Findings support the use of cervical radiography, indicating it may be a preferable method for evaluating bone maturation.
