Easy Age is an app for the estimation of bone age through the cervical vertebrae maturation methods.
The changes that occur in the morphology of the cervical vertebrae C2, C3 and C4, present in routine lateral cephalograms can be used in the evaluation of bone maturation, in a reliable way and with the same clinical value of the assessment of the hand and wrist region. (Hassel & Farman, 1995;Baccetti et al, 2005)
Easy Age calculates bone age by methods:
- Hassel & Farman (1995)
- Mito et al (2002)
- Baccetti et al (2005)
Used in dentistry in orthodontics, jaw functional orthopedics, pediatric dentistry and implantology.
