Reliability of Growth Indicators and Efficiency of Functional Treatment for Skeletal Class II Malocclusion: Current Evidence and Controversies

Figure 4

Diagram of the stages of the most common dental maturation method according to Demirjian et al. [40]. Only the stages D to H are represented due to their relevance with the circumpubertal growth phase. In molars, the distal root should be considered in assessing the G and H stages. Blue, prepubertal stages; grey, any stage; black, postpubertal stages. See Table 7 for details.
