Tooth Developments: An Accuracy of Age Estimation of Radiographic Methods

Abstract

Abstract: Tooth formation is widely used to assess maturity and predict age. Within clinical dentistry this formation aids in diagnosis and treatment planning. Chronological age, as recorded by registration of birth date, is referred to throughout an individual’s life. This information is relevant in medical and dental practice for evaluating developmental progress, for educational purposes and in legal matters, particularly in the application of criminal law. The panoramic radiographs of 75 healthy children (40 boys and 35 girls) aged between 5-14 years were selected. Demirjian, Nolla, Haavikko, Williams and Cameriere methods were applied for estimation of age. The result of our study have shown that Williams method is more accurate followed by Haavikko, Cameriere, Nolla and lastly Demirjian method. Key words: Age determination teeth accuracy panoramic radiograph
