%X Aims and objectives: The Main Purpose of the study was to assess the skeletal age using skeletal maturity indicator  and dental age using Nolla¡¯s method and their correlation with each other.  Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 120 healthy children in the age group of 8¨C13 years, comprising equal number of males and females. The children were radio graphed for hand-wrist of the right & left hand and intraoral periapical X-ray for right permanent maxillary and mandibular canine. Results: A high correlation was observed between skeletal age and dental age by Nolla¡¯s calcification stages for both male and female children of growing age (p value >0.790, 0.64). But Chronological age showed inconsistent correlation with dental and skeletal ages. It was concluded that canine calcification stages given by Nolla¡¯s can also be used for assessing skeletal maturity. Statistical analysis: The quantitative data was analyzed by using one way analysis of variance technique. For comparison of three methods least significant difference post hoc test was used. Conclusion: Nolla¡¯s method of age estimation can be used as a substitute method for skeletal age determination in age group of 8-13 years
