Applicability of Greulich and Pyle and Demirijan aging methods to a sample of Italian population

Combining dental and skeletal evidence in age classification: Pilot study in a sample of Italian sub-adults

“…The results of this study are consistent with very few similar studies retrievable in literature. Santoro et al [9] compared GP and D in an Italian sample and noticed that mean errors were greater in older children for both GP and D. The study is limited to a comparison of estimated ages (dental and skeletal), whilst a real combination of the two methods was not tested. Cameriere et al [56] reported an improvement of accuracy in all age cohorts by combining estimates based on dental and skeletal evidence, but the remarkable differences about the applied methods for age assessment and the age range of the sample jeopardize the possibility of further comparison with our results.…”

The reliability of Cameriere's method in Turkish children: A preliminary report

“…Dental maturity indicators are thought to be more useful indices of maturation since they is less likely to vary in response to nutritional and environmental insults, especially compared to other commonly studied age markers, such as tooth emergence and skeletal growth [8][9][10][11].…”

Comparison of accuracy between dental and skeletal age in the estimation of chronological age of Down syndrome individuals

“…Many methods have been created for age estimation and the most popular one is the Greulich and Pyle Atlas, that uses hand and wrist exams [20]. Aiming to assess DA, Nolla method is one of the most commonly used in teaching and clinical practice [21].…”

“…Among the factors used to estimate CA of an individual are sexual maturity (secondary sexual characteristics), dental age (DA), skeletal age (SA) and morphological age (weight/height) [14][15][16]. Some studies were carried out with the aim to verify the accuracy among the methods used to estimate the CA of an individual [17][18][19][20].…”
