Age estimation of adults from dental radiographs

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

“…The methods of age estimation that were described by Cameriere et al 14 and Kvaal et al 17 used non-invasive approaches, and the measurements they made on radiographs were ethically obtained. Kvaal et al 17 used linear measurements, whereas Cameriere et al 14 used area measurements to measure the pulp/tooth ratio.…”

“…Recent years have brought a worldwide increase in cross-border migration due to a globalized economy, mass disasters ongoing armed conflicts (De Luca et al 2011, Olze et al 2006. As a result, the need to establish the age of an individual has become more important in legal proceedings, such as cases involving unaccompanied or asylum-seeking minors in the absence of proper documents, which has lead to a growing demand for forensic medicine to assess the age of adolescents and young adults (Eikvil et al 2012, Kvaal et al 1995, Cunha et al 2009, De Luca et al 2012, Schmeling et al 2008. Furthermore, due to the nature of such cases, researchers need to explore more noninvasive methods for age estimation that would be applicable to cases involving the living.…”

“…In bioarchaeological research and other population-focused studies, age estimates are important for inferring demographic parameters such as growth rates, fertility schedules, and life expectancies (Kvaal et al 1995, Witter-Baclofen et al 2008, Jackes 2000, Schmeling et al 2007, Passalacqua 2009, DeLuca et al 2011. In forensic contexts, age-at-death estimates are critical in efforts to positively identify partially or wholly decomposed individuals by narrowing down the missing persons list of potential victims (Passalacqua 2009, Cunha et al 2009, TersigniTarrant & Shirley 2013).…”

Drusini's and Takei's Methods for Age Estimation in Korean Adults

“…정확한 연령을 추정하기 위해 여러 가지 방법을 시도하였고 그 중에서도 치아를 사용한 연령 추정법을 많이 사용하고 있 다. 치아는 인체 조직 중 가장 오래 보존되고 [10], 골조직과는 달리 구강 내에서 직접적인 관찰이 가능하며 [11], 증령에 따른 변화가 비교적 단계적이어서 개인차가 가장 적게 나타나는 것 으로 알려져 있기 때문에 연령 추정에 유용하다 [3]. 치아를 연령 추정에 이용하는 경우에는 Gustafson 방법 [12], 치근부 상아질 투명도(dentine transparency) [13,14] …”
