Dental age estimation using radiographic assessment of third molar eruption among 10–20-year-old Ugandan population

Abstract

AIM: This study aimed at establishing the age for third molar eruption among Ugandans aged 10-20 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: -test. RESULTS: < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Given the fact that the percentage of erupted third molars by age 18 was found to be <50% on an average in this Ugandan population, we should reconsider the use of third molar eruption as a definitive tool for age estimation in this population.
