“…The previous study in Malay children (Mongoloid race) found that the Willems method showed overestimation in age groups of 5 and 15 years, and underestimation in age groups of 10 years in both sexes, without a significant statistical difference (Ismail et al 2018). Unlike the results of the previous study in Malay children, there was an underestimation of age observed in the present study, both boys and girls.…”

Background: The applicability of dental age estimation has been expanded to meet a variety of medico-legal needs, law enforcement, and disaster victim identification. The objective of this study is to examine the applicability of the Willems method for Indonesian children. Material and method: A total of 110 panoramic radiographs of the patients (6-14 years old) who met the inclusion criteria were obtained from the Department of Forensic Odontology and Department of Radiology, Universitas Airlangga, Indonesia. Estimated dental age (EDA) was assessed using the Willems method by two blinded examiners. The statistical analysis was carried out using IBM® SPSS® Statistics version 23.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Results and discussion: The mean of the chronological age (CA) in this study is 11.30 ± 1.43 years (boys) and 11.65 ± 1.55 years (girls). The overall mean difference between CA and EDA for boys and girls is − 0.08 ± 0.76 and − 0.31 ± 0.97, respectively. This study showed that the mean age difference in girls was more significant than in boys. The growth spurt timing between boys and girls might cause a difference in dental maturation, whereas the onset of the pubertal growth spurt in girls is about 2 years earlier than in boys. In general, girls start and finish their dental development earlier than boys end. Conclusion: The present study suggests that the dental age estimation methods proposed by Willems can be considered as an applicable method for the children population in Surabaya, both boys and girls. However, a detailed study may be required while applying this approach to the 11-14-year-old girl population in Surabaya, as a substantial underestimation was observed in this community.

“…Since the original publication of The London Atlas in form of a scientific article in 2010 ( 1 ), several population-specific validation studies have corroborated the applicability of the method. In the scientific literature, there are two main strategies to test the applicability of the London Atlas: by assessing the deciduous and permanent dentition among individuals below the age of 16 years ( 24 ), and by assessing the development of third molars among individuals between 16 and 23 years ( 4 ). In children, the applicability of the London Atlas is known for its credibility.…”

Background Assessing the dental development of children and adolescents is an important part of treatment planning. The radiographic visualization of dental developmental stages prior to age estimation is currently feasible by means of digital software apps. Testing the existing software tools is necessary to safeguard application in practice. This study applied the London Atlas Software App 2nd edition™ for dental age estimation in Brazilian children. Material and Methods The software was applied to 1.104 digital panoramic radiographs of females (n = 509) and males (n = 595) with ages between 6 and 15.99 years (mean = 10.88 ± 2.84 years). The sample included at least 100 individuals similarly distributed based on sex within 10 age categories of one year each (6├ 15.99) years. Metrics of errors were quantified between the estimated (EA) and chronological (CA) ages. Results The mean absolute errors among females and males were 0.56 and 0.60 years, respectively (overall = 0.58 years for the combined sample). The lower error values were observed in the age interval of 6 ├ 9.99 years. Error values above one year were detected in older age intervals (10 ├ 15.99 years). Statistically significant differences in dental development were not observed between females and males ( p > 0.05). Conclusions The London Atlas Software App 2nd edition led to specific error rates that can be acceptable for case-specific clinical applications. In the forensic field, caution is advised if the application is planned in the transition between late childhood and early adolescence – when third molars play a major role among the scarce developing teeth. Key words: Brazil, children, dental age estimation, forensic dentistry, radiology.

“…Penelitian menunjukkan terdapat under-estimasi pada kategori usia 10 dan 15 tahun, sedangkan pada grup usia 5 tahun over-estimasi. 21 Adanya over-estimasi atau under-estimasi ini mungkin dapat disebabkan karena sampel yang diteliti masih kategori anak-anak (6-13 tahun) dimana pada usia tersebut adalah gigi masih dalam pertumbuhan dan perkembangan, berbeda apabila sampel yang diteliti kategori usia dewasa dimana pada usia tersebut perkembnagan gigi mayoritas sudah sampai pada tahap erupsi sempurna sehingga kemungkinan hasil yang didapatkan akan sama. Studi mengenai pola mineralisasi gigi menunjukkan bahwa tahap awal perkembangan gigi hampir sama antara laki-laki dan perempuan, dimorfisme seksual dalam tahap perkembangan gigi terjadi diantara tahap akhir pembentukan mahkota ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE dan terus meningkat selama tahap pembentukan akar.…”

Objectives: Age estimation is an important factor in forensic science and needs to be known accurately because it can narrow the search when examining unidentified victims, determine the victim's age at death and is also useful in cases of adulteration of athletes, child guardianship, or to determine whether someone is of legal age. or not according to the law. This study aims to determine individual age estimates based on the London Atlas and Schour-Massler Atlas and compare the accuracy of the two methods. Materials and Methods: 70 panoramic radiographs consisting of 31 boys and 39 girls from Chinese ethnicity in Surabaya, aged 6-13 years (72-156 months). Samples were determined for dental age based on the London Atlas and the Schour-Massler Atlas. The data that has been obtained is then processed by statistical analysis with SPSS for Windows, with an inclusion level of p <0.05. Results: This study showed that the London Atlas was better and more accurate than the Schour-Massler Atlas with a lower mean error and there was no significant difference between the London Atlas dental age estimation and chronological age with p value = 0.426 in the left region and p = 0.429 in the right region (p>0.05). Conclusion: The results obtained from this study indicate that dental development based on the London Atlas and Schour-Massler Atlas can be used as a method to determine the estimated age of children from the range of 6 - 13 years in ethnic Chinese.
