Methods: In the retrospective study, 717 children were included, their chronological age and bone age in accordance with Greulich-Pyle Atlas by evaluating left hand wrist radiograms, dental age in accordance with Demirjian’s and Nolla’s methods by using panoramic radiograms were analyzed. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 23.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). Results: The bone age and the dental ages calculated according to Demirjian’s and Nolla’s methods was found higher than the chronological age by +0.29 year, +0.77 year and +0.23 year, respectively. The closest result to chronological age came from Nolla’s method. Conclusions: In contrast to the previous studies in the South Turkish population, Demirjian method was found to give incompatible results. In this study, it was shown that Nolla method is more reliable in determining dental age for this population. In addition, the bone age and dental age estimated according to Nolla methods were quite similar to each other.}, number={1}, publisher={Akdeniz Üniversitesi}
