“…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] …”

Dental Age Estimation in Adults: A Review of the Commonly Used Radiological Methods

“…They concluded that the TCI is not only reliable biomarker for age estimation in assessing the chronological age at death in skeletal remains, but in also useful tool in determining the age of living individuals. 15) Since then, some studies 16,17) were carried out on different populations applying the method of Ikeda et al, 25) and these studies recommended that age estimations based on the TCI scores of the tooth using dental radiographs.…”

“…In total, 20 articles [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] were included and several methods were presented in literature (Table 1). In general the methods were classified into three categories, Kvaal's, Ikeda's, and…”

“…All studies executed a reproducibility test in order to evaluate the accuracy of the measurements except for one study. Eight studies 5,8,9,12,13,19,20,23) carried out measurement of the pulp and tooth size by one observer while 12 studies 4,6,7,10,11,[14][15][16][17][18]21,22) carried out by two observers and reexamined to test intraobserver or interobserver reproducibility of the measurements.…”

“…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.…”
