“…Age assessment in forensic contexts requires access to as much of the sample as possible in order to perform individual analysis and obtain independent results per tooth to express a unique result. At least two canines are needed to perform Cameriere's age estimation method [ 32 ].…”

“…Finally, a limit of the study could be that of not having specific formulas available for the canine method in the populations of Guatemala or the Dominican Republic. However, this method of estimating age is not strictly dependent on ethnicity: possible variations, as found in some studies [ 32 ], could also depend on many other factors (nutrition, health, climate, etc. ), which are unlikely to definable for each sample examined.…”

Forensic age assessment in the living can provide legal certainty when an individual’s chronological age is unknown or when age-related information is questionable. An established method involves assessing the eruption of mandibular third molars through dental panoramic radiographs (PAN). In age assessment procedures, the respective findings are compared to reference data. The objective of this study was to generate new reference data in line with the required standards for mandibular third molar eruption within a German population. For this purpose, 605 PANs from 302 females and 303 males aged 15.04 to 25.99 years were examined. The PANs were acquired between 2013 and 2020, and the development of the mandibular third molars was rated independently by two experienced examiners using the Olze et al. staging scale from 2012. In case of disagreement in the assigned ratings, a consensus was reached through arbitration. While the mean, median and minimum ages were observed to increase with each stage of mandibular third molar eruption according to the Olze method, there was considerable overlap in the distribution of age between the stages. The minimum age for stage D, which corresponds to complete tooth eruption, was 16.1 years for females and 17.1 years for males. Thus, the completion of mandibular third molar eruption was found in both sexes before reaching the age of 18. In all individuals who had at least one tooth with completed eruption and who were younger than 17.4 years of age (n = 10), mineralization of the teeth in question was not complete. Based on our findings, the feature of assessing mandibular third molar eruption in PAN cannot be relied upon for determining age of majority.
