Estos últimos, observados en la radiografía para cefalometría lateral. Se realizó un estudio observacional comparativo en 100 pacientes mexicanos entre 8 y 16 años, del Servicio de Ortodoncia del Hospital Infantil de México. A todos se les tomó una radiografía carpal de la mano izquierda y un cefalograma lateral. Se clasificaron según los nueve estadios del análisis de Björk, se trazaron y midieron los senos frontales según el método de Ertürk. El largo del seno frontal fue la medición que ofreció mayor significancia. No se observaron diferencias importantes entre géneros. Se dividieron los nueve estadios en tres etapas denominadas A, B y C. Los promedios del largo del seno frontal en la etapa A, correspondiente a los estadios I, II y III de Björk, fueron de 24 mm. La etapa B involucró a los estadios del IV al VIII, con promedio de 26 mm y la etapa C que correspondió al estadio IX, registró como promedio 27.9 mm. Este estudio sugiere que el seno frontal es una estructura confiable al momento de relacionarla con los estadios de maduración, sin embargo aún no puede sustituir a la radiografía carpal y sus análisis.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The skeletal age has been diagnosed by several radiographic methods, the most common being hand-wrist analysis, but we can also make use of cervical vertebrae and frontal sinus analysis. This last two methods can be observed in the lateral cephalometric radiograph. This is an observational comparative study that was realized in one hundred Mexican patients between the ages of 8-16 at the Orthodontic Service of Hospital Infantil de Mexico. All children had a hand-wrist and a cephalometric radiograph taken. The patients were classified according to the nine stages of the Björk analysis. The frontal sinus were measured and drawn according to the Ertürk method. The length of the frontal sinus offered the most significant results, although no important differences between gender were found. The nine stages were divided into three periods: A, B and C. The length of frontal sinus in period A enclosing stages I, II and III, was 24 mm. Period B included stages IV through VIII, having a 26 mm. mean. Period C corresponds to stage IX having 27.9 mm. mean. This study suggests that the frontal sinus is a reliable structure when related to maturation stages, although it is not a substitution of the hand wrist radiograph analysis.]]></p></abstract>
