Background: Various methods are available to assess the age of a child. However, it is much more difficult to evaluate the age of an adult just on the basis of panoramic radiographs. Cameriere’s method based on measurement of pulp/tooth ratio is one of few methods that allows to determine the age of any human being. The aim of this study is to estimate the validation of the original method in a sample of the Polish population and to elaborate a population specific formula.Materials: Panoramic radiographs taken in the Department of Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology, Medical University of Lublin, Poland were retrospectively selected for the study. The selection criteria involved a good quality panoramic radiograph with a free from any pathology upper right canine. The sample included 521 individuals (271 females and 250 males) aged from 18 to 70 years. After tracing and estimating the pulp/tooth area ratio (AR) a dental age was calculated. Afterwards, it has been compared with the chronological age of each patient. Regression models were developed for prediction of the chronological age. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica for Windows software (StatSoft).Results: The regression formula for the total group was as follows: age = 91.746 – 481.6 AR. The dental age calculated using these formulations highly correlated with the chronological age. Pearson’s correlation coefficient equalled - 0.844 for the whole group, r = - 0.873 in females and r = -0.815 in males. All correlations were statistically significant (t test p=0.00).Conclusions: Cameriere’s method can be used in evaluating the dental age in the adult Polish population using population specific formula.

“…This dental aging method does not take much time and needs only one tooth to be measured, allowing to evaluate the age of a patient even if only one tooth is present. With brisk development of image processing in digital radiography, dental age assessment has become signi cantly more accessible (15).…”

“…There are two main dental methods that are widely used for forensic age estimation in the geriatric population for living individuals and corpses (22)(23)(24)(25)(26). Kvaal's and Cameriere's methods are based on pulp, tooth, and root length ratios, which can be determined using mesial and apical X-ray images (27). Further, Cameriere et al (27) stated that their method could be applicable with automated image processing systems.…”

In the geriatric population, forensic age estimation could be essential for insurance-related issues, retirement processes, and work permits. Although cases of forensic age estimation are dominant in adolescents and early adults, nowadays the practice of forensic age determination is increasing in the geriatric population as well. Forensic age estimation, in living and deceased individuals, is among the most commonly studied topics in clinical forensic medicine. However, only few studies have been performed for age estimation in the geriatric population. Based on skeletal bone morphology, skeletal bone radiological traits, chronological dental changes, facial traits, degenerative processes, and automated systems, there are several methods for forensic age estimation in adults and partly in the geriatric population. This paper aims to the draw attention of health-care professionals by discussing methods used for forensic age estimation in the geriatric population.

“…Cameriere et al [90] also developed the statistical regression model performed on digital radiographs by using upper canine pulp/tooth area ratio in adults. Given that, upper canines have certain advantages, such as their longer survival, less wear and the big size of the pulp chamber [91].…”

Dental age assessment is one of the most reliable methods of chronological age estimation used for criminal, forensic and anthropologic purposes. Visual, radiographic, chemical and histological techniques can be used for dental age estimation. Visual method is based on the sequence of eruption of the teeth and morphological changes that are caused due to function such as attrition, changes in color that are indicators of aging. Radiographs of the dentition can be used to determine the stage of dental development of the teeth from initial mineralization of a tooth, crown formation to root apex maturation. Histological methods require the preparation of the tissues for detailed microscopic examination. The chemical analysis of dental hard tissues determines alterations in ion levels with age, whereas the histological and chemical methods are invasive methods requiring extraction/sectioning of the tooth. In this chapter, the different techniques and considered studies were overviewed in conjunction with their advantages and disadvantages. It needs to be taken into consideration that rather than restricting on one age estimation technique, using the other available techniques additionally and performing repetitive measurements may be beneficial for accurate age estimation.
