Assessment of age is “time management”. How to assess age, pubertal availability of growth, prediction of growth, etc. are vital to treatment planning. From hand wrist x-rays to MP3 analysis to CVMI, age assessment has seen major leaps. Simplified analyses have made age assessment easier for both post-graduate and under-graduate students. Third molars and frontal sinus too have been used as age indicators. The growth left after puberty has been attained is of enormous concern to the orthodontist and surgeons. What is the current rate of growth and what is the final percentage expected in the individual, etc. is elaborated upon. Prediction analyses are numerous and computerised versions are simpler for both clinicians and patients.
