“…Among all methods applied here TW3 resulted the most accurate for male individuals (83.5%), whilst all methods produced very similar accuracy (~77%) for females. As previously reported in literature wrist-hand bone maturation and dental calcification resulted to be affected by gender [15,23,[54][55][56][57][58][59].…”

“…Therefore, the Study Group on Forensic Age Diagnostics always recommends an additional physical inspection as well as a determination of the bone age [19]. This practice allows a reduction in the range of variation of the summarizing age diagnostics to approximately ±12 months [18].…”

Forensic age estimation of living subjects has become increasingly important in recent years. One main criterion for dental age estimation in the relevant age group is the evaluation of third molar mineralization. In the present study, we determined the stages of third molar mineralization in 347 female and 258 male First Nations people of Canada aged 11 to 29 years based on radiological evidence from 605 conventional orthopantomograms. The results presented here provide useful data on the mineralization stages of third molars that can be used for forensic estimation of the minimum and most probable ages including the range of scatter of investigated persons.

“…2,3,4,5 Therefore, the need for accurate age estimation techniques and the data required to perform these estimates in living individuals has increased. 6,7 Determining the age of a living person often requires a multidisciplinary approach that involves anthropology, forensic medicine, forensic dentistry, and radiology. 3,8 In forensic dentistry, techniques have been developed based on the correlation between age and dental structures.…”

Dental age estimation in a Brazilian adult population using Cameriere’s method

et al. 2015

The objectives of this study were to develop a specific formula to estimate age in a Brazilian adult population and to compare the original formula from Cameriere to this Brazilian formula. The sample comprised 1,772 periapical radiographs from 443 subjects (219 men, 224 women) that were organized into 12 groups according to sex (men or women) and age (20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 years and older). The films were analyzed using the criteria described by and Adobe Photoshop ® . We obtained a mean error of 8.56 (SD = 5.80) years for tooth 13, 7.99 (SD = 5.78) years for tooth 23, 8.38 (SD = 6.26) years for tooth 33, and 8.20 (SD = 6.54) years for tooth 43. When teeth were combined in the analysis, we observed lower mean errors. The Brazilian formula developed from this sample group was more accurate than Cameriere's formula. However, other factors must be considered to improve age estimates in adults.
