Assessment of dental maturity of western Chinese children using Demirjian's method

Accuracy of Cameriere, Haavikko, and Willems radiographic methods on age estimation on Bosnian–Herzegovian children age groups 6–13

“…The differences were statistically significant for most age groups for both genders. Those overestimations were in concordance with many previous studies of applicability of Demirjian's method on different European and children from India, China, Brazil, Iran, Northern Turkey [28][29][30][31][32].…”

Dental age estimation from the developmental stage of the third molars in western Chinese population

“…Therefore, it is crucial to use population specific reference data in forensic age estimation of living people. Chen et al [16] reported the dental age assessment of western Chinese children, only using seven teeth. The present study estimates dental age from third molars of western Chinese population in order to provide reference data of the western Chinese population, which is adequate to compare with other The purpose of this study is to provide reference data about estimating dental age from third molars of the western Chinese population for comparing with other populations and being applied to the age estimation of western Chinese juveniles and adolescents.…”

The “blind age assessment”: applicability of Greulich and Pyle, Demirjian and Mincer aging methods to a population of unknown ethnic origin

“…Ogni stadio ha un determinato punteggio, variabile per ogni elemento dentario: la somma dei punteggi degli elementi dentari di una emiarcata tranne il terzo molare (i due incisivi, il canino, i due premolari e i primi due molari) fornisce la stima dell'età [15]. Diversi autori hanno applicato fi nora il metodo a differenti contesti geografi ci: molti di loro hanno verifi cato che le curve di maturità elaborate da Demirjian non concordavano con i dati relativi a singoli gruppi etnici [16][17][18], e che la maturazione dentaria delle rispettive popolazioni era più avanzata [17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] [5]. The standard charts were developed from radiological examinations of Caucasoid children between 1931 and 1942.…”
