Dental maturation in Sardinian children shows significant differences between sexes. This study found that Sardinian children exhibit delayed tooth development compared to North American populations.

Area of Science:

  • Anthropology
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Human Biology

Background:

  • Tooth development is a critical indicator of biological maturation in children.
  • Understanding population-specific dental development patterns is essential for accurate age estimation and growth assessment.
  • Previous research highlights variations in dental maturation across different ethnic groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the dental maturation status of healthy children from Sardinia.
  • To compare dental development timing between boys and girls in the Sardinian population.
  • To investigate potential differences in dental maturation between Sardinian and North American children.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 382 healthy Sardinian children (178 boys, 204 girls).

  • Orthopantomograms were analyzed to evaluate the development of permanent mandibular canines, premolars, and molars using Moorrees' method.
  • Dental maturity scores and chronological ages were analyzed using linear regression.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant differences in the timing of tooth development were observed between boys and girls.
    • Sardinian children demonstrated delayed dental maturation when compared visually with North American children.
    • The findings suggest population-specific variations in the tempo of dental development.

    Conclusions:

    • There are sex-based differences in dental maturation within the Sardinian pediatric population.
    • Sardinian children exhibit a delayed dental maturation pattern compared to North American children.
    • These findings underscore the importance of considering geographic and ethnic factors in dental age assessment.
