%X aim: to evaluate the relationship between the different cervical vertebrae maturation indicators and the dental calcification stages, as well as to verify the existent differences among gender, in a sample of subjects with 10 to 14 years-old. methods: the sample consisted of lateral cephalometric and panoramic radiographs of 464 subjects of both gender, classified in agreement with the cervical vertebrae maturation indicators described by hassel and farman (1995) and the calcification stages described by nolla (1960). results: the obtained results showed correlation among the studied variables (p < 0,05). conclusions: confirming data from the literature, a precocity was observed as much in the cervical vertebrae maturation indicators, as in the dental calcification stages for the females in relation to the males.
