The treatments were categorized into early (interceptive treatment and early headgear) and late treatment (orthodontic treatment and treatment for crowding) groups. Dental age was assessed by Demirjian\u2019s dental maturity method and grouped into delayed (\u2264 \u20131 year), normal (&gt; \u20131 and &lt; +1), and advanced (\u2265\u00a0+1 year) relative to children\u2019s chronological age. Results were performed using Pearson\u2019s chi-square test, Fisher\u2019s exact test, and multinominal logistic regression models.\nResults: Normal dental age at the time of the DPT was detected most often in the children in all studied treatment groups. Delayed dental age was detected more often in the children in the early treatment group and advanced dental age in the late treatment group (p = 0.002). The mean dental age of the girls with early treated canine(s) lagged significantly behind that of the girls in the groups that received no treatment (\u20130.43 years, p = 0.004) or late treatment (\u20130.45 years, p = 0.026). Delayed dental age was detected in 28.1% of the interceptively treated canines, leading to an association between delayed dental age and interceptive treatment (odds ratio 3.99, 95% confidence interval 1.84\u20138.67).\nConclusions: Association was found between delayed dental age and interceptive treatment of a maxillary canine. Because of variations in dental age within the same age group, the timing of treatment plays a key role in order to achieve early treatment options for children\u2019s erupting maxillary canines.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/aos.v84.45203","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]],"date-time":"2025-12-29T11:47:57Z","timestamp":1767008877000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Timing of dental development in relation to the treatment of maxillary canines: a retrospective register-based study"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"84","author":[{"given":"Jenni","family":"Ristaniemi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eeva","family":"Melaluoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenni","family":"Iivari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Paula Pesonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raija","family":"L\u00e4hdesm\u00e4ki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"137063","unstructured":"Broadbent BH.
