Dental age comparison in patients born with unilateral cleft lip and palate to a control sample using Demirjian and Willems methods

ConclusionsThe null hypothesis was rejected. Willem ’s method as compared to Demirjian’s displayed greater accuracy in estimating CA. Both methods overestimated CA but detected DA delay in NSUCLP children compared to the control group. However, the methods were inconsistent in estimating gender CA.
