“…We observed a lower mean error in age estimates (7.99 to 8.56 years) using this formula than those determined using the original formula. This finding is similar to another study 4 that used a specific formula for an Indian population. On the other hand, another study 22 showed that it is possible to use the same formula for age estimates in both Italian and Portuguese populations.…”

“…Several studies have used orthopantomographs, 14,18,19 but we used periapical radiographs in this study because they produced more reliable data with lower chances of superimposition. 4,18,20,21,22,23,24 One of the difficulties we encountered was achieving the desired sample size because all radiographs did not show 4 healthy canines. This issue was more common in patients aged 60 years and older.…”

“…16 Although the radiographic evaluation of secondary dentin deposits was not the most accurate technique for estimating age in living adults, it is still the best non-invasive technique available. 4,19 To increase precision, other teeth and more data points could be used to develop multiple regression models.…”

“…1 Age estimates are important for civil and criminal cases, in the absence of valid identification documents, for criminals who refuse to provide their true age, and for issues related to immigration and asylum requests to foreign countries. 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.…”

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.

“…Among the 20 articles, 13 studies [5][6][7][8][9][12][13][14][15][16][17]22,23) were performed on orthopantomograms for measuring of the size of the pulp cavity and 7 studies 4,10,11,[18][19][20][21] were performed on periapical radiographs. Although most studies included range of age, only one study 23) provided insufficient data of age.…”
