Introduction: Introduction: Orthodontics includes the study of the growth and development of the dentofacial complex particularly and the growth and development of the body generally. Overall growth and development is recognized as one of the most important factors in Orthodontics. The early prevention and interception of dentofacial deformities is dependent upon the accurate interception of the inherent facio-skeletal pattern and overall growth and development.
Material and Methods: Skeletal maturity was asessed by Tanner-Whitehouse and Healy method TW2 on110 Boys and 110 Girls of prepubertal age (11-13 years). Mean skeletal age was estimated and standards of skeletal age,height and weight were computed and given for every six months of chronological age.
Discussion: Skeletal maturity in Boys at pre pubertal age can be accurately assessed by RUS (TW2) method. Skeletal maturity in Girls at prepubertal age can be accurately assessed by 20 bone TW2 method The mean skeletal age is 12.10±1.60 at mean chronological age of 11.94±0.71 in Boys (RUS).
The mean skeletal age is 13.62±0.99 at mean chronological age of 12.10±0.64 in Girls. (20-B) Both Azamgarh Boys and Girls TW2 show advanced skeletal age than the chronological age.
Conclusion: Both Azamgarh Boys and Girls are 11 months more matured than the British population(TW2 standards). Azamgarh Boys are 6 months and Girls are 12 months more matured than the Australian population. Azamgarh Girls had a mean of 4 months advanced skeletal age then the Boys.
