“…When the accuracy of this method was tested for males and females, non-significant results were obtained with a p value of 0.1613 on the left side of the OPG and a p value of 0.4322 on the right side of the OPG respectively. Similar results were obtained by Bagh et al and Attiguppe et al (Bagh et al 2014;and Attiguppe et al 2016). Non-significant results prove that gender does not influence age estimation.…”

Background: Age estimation is of prime importance in forensic science and clinical dentistry. In children, age estimation can be done by skeletal maturity indicators like hand-wrist radiographs and dental age estimation. Skeletal maturity indicators compared with dental age estimation is limited as they are influenced by various environmental parameters, whereas calcification of teeth depends on genes rather than environmental factors. Many of the dental age estimation methods use extracted teeth, which are quite invasive, whereas Cameriere's method is a recently introduced radiographic method first in European population; where in age estimation is done using open apices of teeth by orthopantomogram (OPG). Indian-specific formula was introduced later using permanent mandibular teeth on left side of jaw. The present study aimed to estimate the age and also to determine the accuracy of Cameriere's method using Indian-specific formula on both right and left sides of mandible in Khammam population of South India and also to determine the side which can be efficient in determining age. Methodology: The present study comprised radiographs of 50 subjects (25 boys and 25 girls) ranging from 5 to 15 years. The soft copies of the radiographs of selected subjects were retrieved from the computer attached to the digital orthopantomogram machine (Orthophos XG5; Sirona Dental Systems). The 7 left and right permanent mandibular teeth were assessed in OPGs. The number of teeth with closed apical and with open apical ends of roots was examined and measured. The values were tabulated based on the Cameriere method of age estimation using Indian-specific formula. Statistical analysis was done using paired t test and Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient test. Results: Comparison of dental age with chronological age in males showed non-significant results on both left and right sides of the OPG with a p value of 0.3765 and 0.3045, respectively. Likewise in females, p values of 0.2167 and 0.8089 were noted. When males and females were compared, non-significant results were obtained with a p value of 0.1613 in the age estimated on the left side of the OPG and a p value of 0.4322 on the right side of the OPG. Correlation test showed that left side of the OPG showed better results in determining age than the right side of the OPG with an r value of 0.9982 and 0.9485 in males and females, respectively.

“…In a study from North China [37], the canine, 1 st premolar, and 2 nd molar were significant predictors of age estimation. Also, in an Indian study conducted by Attiguppe et al [59], the 1 st premolar was included in the regression equation as a significant contributor. In the Serbian population [42], it was found that the canine and 2 nd molar were the most significant variables.…”

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.

“…Al respecto, Attiguppe et al . 28 establecieron una fórmula específica para niños de la India (Davangere) de 6 a 15 años, en la cual las variables que se utilizaron fueron N0 y X4, y se encontró un R 2 ajustado del 73,5%, lo cual indica que se debe prestar atención a la posible diferencia entre los niños de diferentes orígenes étnicos. De la misma manera, Sharma et al .…”

Objetivo: Determinar la exactitud del método de Cameriere y su variante la Fórmula Europea en una población peruana subadulta; y determinar una ecuación predictora de la edad cronológica. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, observacional, transversal y retrospectivo. Se utilizaron 257 radiografías panorámicas digitales de pacientes en dentición mixta de 5 a 12 años de edad pertenecientes al Centro Odontológico “Dental Científica” de la Universidad Científica del Sur de la ciudad de Lima, Perú. Las variables morfológicas xi, i= 1,…,7, s, N0 y el género de los sujetos, fueron utilizadas como variables predictoras para la estimación de la edad. Para evaluar la exactitud de cada método de estimación se utilizó el error de predicción promedio y para generar la ecuación predictora de la edad cronológica se utilizó la regresión lineal múltiple. Resultados: Se encontró que el error promedio de predicción entre la edad cronológica con respecto a la edad estimada por la fórmula del método de Cameriere y la Fórmula Europea fue 0.73±0.55 años y 0.77±0.57 años respectivamente. Se generó un modelo cuyas variables predictoras de la edad fueron el s y N0, ambas variables fueron estadísticamente significativas y el R2 Ajustado por el número de variables fue 75.96%. Conclusiones: Se determinó que la fórmula del método de Cameriere fue más exacta que la Fórmula Europea, sin embargo, no existió diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre ambas. Adicionalmente se estableció una fórmula de regresión lineal específica para una población peruana de 5 a 12 años con una adecuada capacidad de predicción.
