Latar Belakang: Di Indonesia penelitian mengenai Korelasi Maturasi Antara VertebraServikalis Baccetti dan Molar Dua Permanen Bawah Demirjian pada Anak Usia 8-16Tahun belum banyak dipublikasikan.Tujuan: mengevaluasi Korelasi Maturasi Antara Vertebra Servikalis Baccetti denganMolar Dua Permanen Bawah Demirjian pada anak usia 8-16 tahun.Metode: Penelitian deskriptif analisis ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan studi crosssectional.Sampel diperoleh dari 90 radiograf panoramik dan sefalometri lateral dari anakyang berusia 8-16 tahun dengan kriteria tertentu. Maturasi dental diperiksa melalui tahapmineralisasi Molar Dua Permanen Bawah berdasarkan metode Demirjian (tahap A-H);Maturasi Skeletal dievaluasi dengan menggunakan metode Maturasi Vertebra Servikalisberdasarkan metode Baccetti (CS1-CS6). Uji reliabilitas penelitian menggunakan ujistatistik Kappa. Uji Kendall Tau-b digunakan untuk menentukan korelasi antara MaturasiVertebra Servikalis dan Molar Dua Permanen Bawah.Hasil: Tahap CS1 memiliki distribusi paling banyak tahap D; CS2 memiliki distribusipaling banyak tahap E; pada CS3 memiliki distribusi yang merata pada tahap F dan G,CS4 memiliki distribusi paling banyak tahap G, CS5 memiliki distribusi yang hampirmerata pada tahap G dan H; dan tahap CS6 memiliki distribusi paling banyak pada tahapH. Korelasi antara Maturasi Vertebra Servikalis dan Molar Dua Permanen Bawah sangatkuat dan signifikan (r = 0,829; p <0,05).Kesimpulan: Molar Dua Permanen Bawah dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai indikatormaturasi skeletal pada anak usia 8-16 tahun.

Background: In Indonesia, the research on Correlation Between the Maturation of

Cervical Vertebral and Lower Permanent Second Molar in Children Aged 8-16 Years has

not been widely publicized.

Objective: to evaluate the correlation between the Maturation of Cervical Vertebral of

the Baccetti method and lower permanent second Molar of the Demirjian method in

children aged 8-16 years.

Method: This research was conducted using a cross-sectional study. Samples were

obtained from 90 panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalometry obtained from children

ages 8-16 years with certain criteria. Maturation of teeth was examined through the

mineralization stage of the Lower Permanent Second Molar based on the Demirjian

method (stage A-H). Skeletal Maturation was evaluated by the use of the Cervical

Vertebral Maturation method based on Baccetti (Stage CS1-CS6). The reliability test uses

the Kappa statistical test. Kendall Tau-b Test was used to determine the correlation

between the maturation od Cervical Vertebral and Lower Permanent Second Molar.

Results: Stage CS1 has the most distribution of stage D; CS2 has the most distribution of

stage E; in CS3 has equal distribution of stage F and G; in CS4 has the most distribution

of stage G; in CS5 has equal distribution of stage G and H; and stage CS6 is has the most

distribution of stage H. The correlation between Cervical Vertebral Maturation and Lower

Permanent Second Molar Maturation was very strong and significant (r = 0.829; p <0.05).

Conclusion: The Lower Permanent Second Molar can be considered as indicator of

skeletal maturation in children aged 8-16 years.
