Abstract:- Aims: To correlate and evaluate the changes in the shape and size of the cervical vertebrae with the obese patients and normal patients. Settings and design: A cross sectional radiographic study was carried out among 240 subjects , 8-14 years further divided into 120 normal BMI( body mass index) and 120 obese(increased BMI) visiting Department of Orthodontics, Pacific Dental College and Hospital, Udaipur, India. Methods and Material: The lateral cephalogram were taken and traced for all subjects The system developed by Farman and Hassel modification of Lamparski’s criteria was used to determine skeletal maturation using cervical vertebrae. Results: The obese subjects (3.23±1.2) exhibited a significantly higher mean cervical vertebral maturation score than did the normal subjects (2.6±1.4). Conclusion: Obese subjects showed a higher mean discrepancy between skeletal and chronologic ages compared with normal-weight subjects. Furthermore, obese subjects had a significantly higher cervical vertebral maturation score than did normal-weight subjects. Thus, to account for the earlier growth in obese patients with skeletal discrepancies, it might be necessary to perform earlier examinations and treatments than in normal-weight subjects.
Key words:- Skeletal maturation, cervical vertebrae, obesity.
