Age estimation of Korean children based on dental maturity

“…[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Methods of age estimation using tooth wear and the development of permanent teeth were reported in 2000, 2007 and 2008 by our lab, and have been proved to be valuable and useful in the field [24][25][26].…”

“…The most frequently used method is based on the Demirjian's stages of dental development. Age estimation is more accurate under 14 years of age [17]. When the subjects are older than 14 years with completely developed permanent teeth (at terminal stage H), the errors between estimated and actual age would increase.…”

Sex determination using discriminant function analysis in children and adolescents: a lateral cephalometric study

et al. 2010

The objective of this study is to test the validity of sex determination in children and adolescents using lateral radiographic cephalometry and discriminant function analysis. Fifty male and 50 female cephalograms of Taiwanese children were used (males and females with mean age of 15.52 +/- 1.38 and 15.67 +/- 1.54 years, respectively). Twenty-two cephalometric measurements were performed using computerized cephalometry. Statistical analysis shows that all measurements were sexually dimorphic (p < 0.05). Nine measurements, statistically validated and clinically relevant, were used for discriminant function analysis. A stepwise discriminant procedure selected seven of the nine variables, producing 95% accuracy in sex determination. Resubstitution classification reveals the same discriminant rate. Cross-validation classification (the leave-one-out method) reveals that the correct sex determination rate is 91%. However, the combination of four variables using both the stepwise procedure and the resubstitution method achieves a 92% accuracy rate. A cross-validation classification procedure with the same four variables resulted in a 91% accuracy rate. Therefore, this study uses four cephalometric measurements as the minimum number of traits yielding the maximum discriminant effectiveness of sex determination in children and adolescents.
