“…For the entire sample, the London Atlas showed a statistically significant value of overestimation in the population of Hispanic children, with a difference of +0.35 years (SD =0.89 years). The result of the present study corresponds with McCloe et al, and Ashraf et al's findings reveal a significant overestimation in age, with a difference of +0.33 years (SD =0.61 years) [ 13 , 17 ]. This suggests that the growth and development of the dataset used in establishing Al Qahtani's technique differs from existing Surabaya population studies and that more research is needed to determine which element has a more significant impact on resulting in disparities in dental age [ 18 ].…”

“…The new atlas covered as much of the developing dentition as possible, and all ages were represented. The London Atlas accuracy has been evaluated in various demographics to guarantee that it is a global, practical, and all-encompassing method [10] [13,17]. This suggests that the growth and development of the dataset used in establishing Al Qahtani's technique differs from existing Surabaya population studies and that more research is needed to determine which element has a more significant impact on resulting in disparities in dental age [18].…”

Objectives. Dental age estimation has been employed in a range of legal operations as well as catastrophe victim identification. Dental age estimation is regarded as an appropriate method for estimating a person’s age because there is a high association between age and teeth. This study aims to assess the suitability of the Al Qahtani and Willems dental age estimation approaches for the Indonesian children and adolescent population. Methods. A total of 150 panoramic radiographs of patients (75 boys and 75 girls, 6-17 years old) were obtained from the Department of Radiology, Airlangga University, Indonesia. One researcher analyzed estimated dental age (EDA) twice in a one-week time-lapse using the Willems and Al Qahtani methods. The statistical analysis of the present study was carried out using IBM® SPSS® Statistics version 25.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Results. The mean of this study’s chronological age (CA) was 11.60 ± 3.41. Using the Willems method, the mean difference between CA and EDA for boys and girls was -0.41 ± 0.90. The mean difference between CA and EDA for boys and girls is 0.33 ± 0.61 using the Al Qahtani method. Conclusions. According to the findings of this investigation, the dental age estimation method proposed by Al Qahtani and Willems can be applied to the population in Surabaya. However, a comprehensive study is required when using this method because the data revealed significant statistical disparities between the two methods.

“…Sousa et al [ 2 ] explained how the utilization of population-specific formulae may be essential for more accurate age estimation, thus highlighting the importance of establishing population-specific databases. According to McCloe et al [ 33 ], the applicability of the London Atlas should be assessed in different ethnic groups to determine if inter-population variability exists. In addition, Esan and Schepartz [ 13 ] reported that dental development charts and tables based on mixed population samples may not be accurate for specific age estimation.…”

Dental age estimation in the living and deceased is a fundamental aspect of forensic sciences, civil cases, medico-legal proceedings and clinical dentistry. Accordingly, this study aimed to validate the accuracy and reproducibility of the London Atlas in a select South African sample of KwaZulu-Natal. In this cross-sectional study, 760 digital panoramic radiographs (n = 760) aged between 5.00 and 23.99 years were retrospectively reviewed through consecutive sampling. Each radiograph was assessed and assigned a dental age in accordance with the London Atlas of Human Tooth Development and Eruption by AlQahtani et al. (2010). The London Atlas overestimated age with a mean difference of −0.85 to −1.26 years in the selected South African sample of KwaZulu-Natal. A statistically significant difference between the chronological and estimated dental ages was recorded. Furthermore, the South African Black and Indian males had a higher overestimation of age than their female counterparts, with a mean difference of 0.13 and 0.07 years, respectively. This overestimation was less in the South African Indian population in comparison to the SA Black population. This outcome resulted in the creation of the KZN population- and sex-specific charts and atlases for the two selected cohorts of KwaZulu-Natal. The KZN Atlases were found to be more accurate in the selected sample, with a mean absolute error of 0.57 years and no statistically significant differences between the chronological and estimated dental ages.

“…Bu tekniğin uygulanabilirliği daha az sayıda ülkede değerlendirilmiş olsa da kullanılabilir bir yöntem olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. [31][32][33] Türk popülasyonunda Londra Atlas tekniğinin değerlendirildiği sınırlı sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. 25 Bu çalışmada da benzer olarak Türk toplumunda bireyin 18 yaşından büyük olup olmadığını belirleyebilmek için iki yöntemin birleştirilme olasılığına bakıldığında bu iki yöntemin ölçüm ve evreleme olarak farklı teknikler kullanmasına rağmen uyumluluklarının 0.813'lük kappa değeriyle çok iyi düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür.…”

Öz Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; Londra Atlas tekniğinin ve Cameriere’nin 3. molar olgunluk indeksinin (I3M) Türk popülasyonunda 18 yaş yasal sınırının belirlenmesinde radyolojik diş yaşının doğruluğunu, özgüllüğünü ve duyarlılığını değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma kesitsel gözlemsel olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 14 - 21 yaş aralığında toplamda 804 (470 kadın, 334 erkek) birey dahil edilmiştir. 18 yaş yasal sınırının belirlenmesinde Londra Atlas ve I3M yöntemleri kullanılarak farklı iki araştırmacı tarafından radyolojik diş yaşının doğruluğu, özgüllüğü ve duyarlılığı değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: 18 yaş eşiğini belirlemede, Londra Atlas tekniği % 88.74 duyarlılık, % 87.37 özgüllük ve % 88.1 doğruluk gösterirken, I3M tekniği % 95.54 duyarlılık, % 75.50 özgüllük ve % 85.5 doğruluk göstermiştir. İki teknik arasındaki uyumluluk düzeyine bakıldığında ise (κ = 0.813) elde edilen uyumluluğun iyi düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: I3M ve Londra Atlas teknikleri Türk toplumunda 18 yaş eşiğini belirlemede benzer performanslar göstermiştir. Yaş tahminini güçlendirmek için Londra Atlas ve I3M tekniklerinin kombine kullanımı sonuçları değiştirmemiştir. Londra Atlas tekniğinin Türk toplumuna uyumunu görebilmek için daha çok çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Anahtar kelimeler: adli tıp, panoramik radyografi, pedodonti, yaş tayini
