“…Further technical improvements led to the suggestion that the TCA was superior to other tooth-based methods of age estimation in the adult skeleton [19]. Initially, the TCA method was applied to freshly extracted teeth, but Grosskopf, in 1989, showed that this method was also applicable to historical skeletons and cremations [20].…”

“…Countability of annulations from photographic enlargements was evaluated. However, it is not always easy to count [115]. Miller et al [116] reported that determining chronologic age in humans from cementum annulations is not possible.…”

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.
