Estimativa de idade por meio da avaliação do desenvolvimento dentário e ósseo em jovens brasileiros

Abstract

to 0.64; for EROCSSTM the hit rate was 70.8% and R 2 of 0.62. Chaillet and Demirjian's technique was applied for dental age estimation, which showed an average error of 1.3 years and the method of Caldas et al. (2007a) was applied for cervical vertebrae age estimation with an average error of 1.9 years. Dental variables and measurements of cervical vertebrae were associated and new regression equations were developed for Brazilians, and the average error of equations developed in the study was 1.0 year. Finally, the method with radiographic indexes was easy to perform after adequate training, reliable and can be used in forensic practice. In addition, the use of new equations presented in this study is recommended because associating cervical vertebrae data with dental development allowed age estimates with greater accuracy.
