Objective: To determine the correlation between circumpubertal dental maturation phase using mandibular canine and skeletal maturation phase for correct prediction of specific maturation phase in adults. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Dentistry, Sandeman Provincial Hospital, Quetta Pakistan, from Jun to Dec 2019. Methodology: Fifty individuals with permanent mandibular canine, either gender were included. Dental maturity was measured by applying the estimation of calcification phases of the mandibular canines by using Demirjian et al., criteria. The skeletal maturity was determined by using method of maturation phase of cervical vertebra on lateral cephalograms. Results: The mean age of individuals was 12.34±6.55years. There were 11 males and 39 females. There was significantly strong correlation observed between skeletal maturity and dental maturation of mandibular third molar i.e., r=0.633 (p<0.001). Conclusion: Circumpubertal dental maturation phase is appropriate way for identification of individual specific maturation phase using mandibular canine.
