“…However, due to geographic differences between different regions from India, they proposed another formula, namely Age = 9.402 − 0.879C (C = 0 for the center and north of India and 1 for the south) + 0.663N 0 − 0.711s − 0.106sN 0 , which explained 89.7% of the total variance [ 12 ]. Cugati et al developed a specific formula for Malaysian populations, namely, Age = 11.368 − 0.345g + 0.553N 0 − 1.096s − 0.380sN 0 , which yielded an R 2 value of 0.871 [ 18 ]. Cameriere developed two main formulas to assess dental age based on open apices.…”

“…For example, Angelakopoulos et al developed a new formula—based on the Cameriere approach—using Bayesian methods, in South African children [ 16 ]. Additionally, numerous authors have shown this method to be more accurate in estimating age compared to others such as Demirjian, Nolla, Haavikko, or Willems [ 17 , 18 ]. However, the mean difference between chronological and dental age, as estimated by this method, has been shown to be variable in different studies, with some of them having been performed on similar populations [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Purpose: To evaluate the actual variability of the mean difference between chronological and dental age using the Cameriere method of open apices and to test its accuracy in variable age groups. Method: We selected studies that contained data about the mean, standard deviation, and number of cases for chronological age, dental age and gender. We used a random-effects model. Statistical significance was estimated, at a p < 0.05, using prediction intervals. For the analysis of publication bias we used the funnel plot and Egger’s regression test for plot asymmetry. I2 was used to test the presence of heterogeneity between studies. The Z test was used to test for statistical differences between subgroups, with p < 0.05 being considered statistically significant. We also used 95% for confidence intervals and prediction intervals. Results: In boys, the average difference between chronological and dental age was 0.44 (0.26–0.63) years, while in girls the average difference between chronological and dental age was 0.34 (0.19–0.49) years. In the 6–7 years age group and in the 14–15 years age group, there was a statistically significant difference between dental and chronological age. Our study shows that the Cameriere method is useful for estimating the chronological age, with errors of less than one year. Conclusions: The Cameriere method of evaluating dental age using open apices is sufficiently accurate for forensic practice, at least in the 7–14 age-interval.

“…To create a regression model, similar to the study by Cugati et al (17), gender and morphological variables such as the standardized sum of values of teeth with open apices, the number of teeth with closed apices, and their interactions were used. In some studies, other variables such as standardized values of teeth number 1 to 7 were also included in the model (2,3,12,(18)(19)(20).…”

A Comparison of Demirjian and Cameriere Methods in Estimating Age and Development of a Modified Cameriere Method

Background: In recent years, age estimation in forensic medicine has become so important. Teeth are used to estimate age as valuable indicators. Objectives: This study aimed to compare Cameriere and Demirjian methods in estimating chronological age (Age) in an Iranian population and to develop a modified Cameriere method. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated a total of 486 panoramic radiographs of individuals aged 5 - 15 years adopted from two craniofacial radiology centers in Babol, northern Iran, in 2019. The dental age of subjects was assessed by Demirjian (DAge) and Cameriere (CAge) methods and compared with their chronological age. Also, a formula was designed based on the Cameriere method for our studied population, and the results of the original and modified Cameriere (MCAge) methods were compared. Results: The mean ± SD of Age (10.38 ± 2.30) had a significant difference with DAge (10.67 ± 2.33) and CAge (9.77 ± 2.01) (P < 0.001). The modified Cameriere formula was more accurate than Cameriere one, and MCAge was 10.38 ± 2.12, indicating no significant difference with Age (P = 0.993). Conclusions: According to our results, both Demirjian and Cameriere methods were not reliable for age estimation in the Iranian population. However, the modified Cameriere formula had a very high accuracy in estimating the age of the studied population.

“…This method was evaluated on a large number of children from multiple European countries, including Croatia, Germany, Kosovo, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, and the United Kingdom, yielding a common formula effective for all these countries [28]. The validity and accuracy of Cameriere's method were tested on several sample groups from various nationalities [29][30][31][32][33], revealing that the original regression model developed by Cameriere may not always be applicable to other countries because tooth development differed among populations and varied across ethnic groups and geographic areas [34]. Moreover, diet, socioeconomic status, nutritional habits, and lifestyle all have an impact on tooth development [19].…”

Background Cameriere’s original formula based on open apex measurements is a reliable, clinically applicable method for dental age estimation in different populations children. Dental development may differ between Egyptian children and other ethnic populations which may affect dental age accuracy using Cameriere’s formula. Aim Firstly, to verify Cameriere’s original formula on large Egyptian children sample, secondly, to develop an Egyptian-specific formula based on Cameriere’s method. Material and methods A prospective cross-sectional study of 762 good quality Orthopantomograms (OPGs) of 5–15 aged healthy Egyptian children selected from Nile Delta governorates between August 2020 and December 2021. Chronological age (CA) was calculated by subtracting birth date from radiograph date. OPGs were analyzed for N0, S, Xi morphologic variables using Sidexis program after that dental age was calculated using Cameriere’s formula then compared to CA. Multiple linear regression model was used to adapt Cameriere’s formula to construct an Egyptian formula. The same sample was used to verify the new formula accuracy. Results A total of 1093 OPGs were collected; 762 OPGs which met inclusion criteria were analyzed. Cameriere’s original formula revealed − 0.59- and − 0.53-year underestimation of females and males dental age (DA) respectively (p < 0.001). Regression analysis using the morphologic variables showed that X4, X7, N0 contributed significantly to CA yielding Egyptian-specific formula. New formula showed − 0.12-year male underestimation and 0.1-year female overestimation (p > 0.05). Conclusion Egyptian formula was more accurate than Cameriere’s formula in Egyptian children. Clinical relevance Egyptian-specific formula decreases the gap between CA and DA, so a relative approximate age is obtained that helps proper diagnosis and treatment planning for orthodontic and pediatric dentistry problems.
