Bone Age Measurement in Children
Every child's development is different. Various methods are used to solve the oral and dental problems of your children especially in adolescence. The hand wrist x-ray is used to determine the bone age of the child in jawbone problems and orthodontics treatments, thus increasing the success rate of the implant to be applied. With well-planned treatments, your children's oral and dental problems are permanently resolved.
The mouth and teeth of children require more care than adults, and when necessary care is taken, a healthy growth and development is ensured. For this reason, dental and jaw development of children should be followed with regular checks.
Hand Wrist Radiography Taking Procedure
Determination of bone age is one of the frequently used methods in dental treatment. It is generally used in orthodontics treatment planning to understand whether the bone development of children is normal or not. In orthodontics treatment, it is determined whether the patient is in puberty or not from the hand-wrist film.
When we say how to take a hands wrist radiography, first of all, protective equipment should be given to the patient before taking. Then, in order for the taking to be comfortable for the patient and the technician, the patient should be seated on a chair. The forearm and hand should be level on the table or cassette. The top of the hand should be pointing up. Centralization should be done right in the middle of the wrist and perpendicular to the film while taking the hand wrist film. The patient should not move during the radiography. Taking can be done with 50 KV and 5 MaS for an average adult.
Apart from orthodontics evaluation, bone age evaluation is used for implant treatment in adults due to traumatic tooth deficiencies. In addition, hand wrist film provides an advantage in the examination of dental trauma cases.
Advantages of Knowing Bone Age
Thanks to the wrist radiography, the growth potential of the child is evaluated by considering the skeletal development rather than their own chronological age. Knowing the bone age of the child helps to understand whether the development of teeth and jawbones is normal, as well as to predict how tall they will be when they grow up.
Bone age determination methods, which can also be used in adolescence, also enable the physical development of newborn children. Your dentist will give reliable and more detailed information to your questions about how to take a hand wrist radiography and how to evaluate a hand wrist radiography in dental treatments.

Well I have just visited and had my first phase of treatment,throughout the process ,I have been in contact with Arina who has guided me throughout the process ,with prices,hotels,transfers and any questions I needed answering ,I came off the plane and my transfer was waiting for me to take me to hotel,I stayed at the La Marge,a lovely hotel and the staff couldn’t have done anymore,very friendly and always helpful,day 1 I was picked up in the morning by the transport and met by the lovely Anya who put me at ease straight away,day 1 is exhausting but getting most of it all done is the best way,I left there sore and a bit swollen,but had all the antibiotics,painkillers,mouthwash,ice packs to help,personally I went back straight to sleep and woke up in the morning,it was a lot better,all the staff at Tulay are first class,the cleanliness and professional manner in which they all shown was amazing,i want to thank them all and see you in September for Phase 2
I must say that the whole process is completely digital. First, they take your 3D jaw tomography and explain everything in detail, you get all the info about the process before your treatment. For mouth impressions, they use a 3D scanner which is one of the best ones (believe me I researched a lot about these things while choosing a clinic). They also have their own lab and your crowns are done there, that’s why everything s done super fast! I enjoyed my experience at Akkol Dental
Big shoutout to Anya! As a foreigner, communication is key, and Anya made everything clear and easy, she explained the process from start to finish and I felt safe at this place. Doctor Adnan did my crowns and the result was fantastic!
I was verry happy for this company the staff was sweet and proffesinelt. I pay 1.750€ for 12 crowns take € hvis you for the payment Regards Detlef Otto Denmark
I came to Antalya to get zirconia crowns, and I’m beyond happy with the results! Coordinator Arina was incredibly helpful from start to finish, she explained every step of the process, helped me with transportation, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Rifat is a true artist, he carefully designed my new smile, and my crowns look very natural and beautiful. The procedure was painless, and the clinic’s technology is top-notch. Now I can smile with confidence again! Highly recommended

Where do I start? I would like to extend my gratitude to Arina and all the crew at Tulay Akkol dental centre. Arina was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process and really excelled in great customer service. From the moment I arrived in Turkey with my family the transfer to the hotel was smooth and stress free. The hotel we stayed in was fantastic and the staff there were lovely. I personally would like to thank the dentist for excellent work and for being very patient and understanding. I can't speak highly off Tulay Akkol and the fantastic treatment I received for my smile makeover. Arina, you are a star and thank you for everything.
