“…Concerns regarding age estimation in children have been highlighted by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child [ 27 ]. Our study has included children between 6 and 16 years of age as a study sample, which is an important range of age, especially in an Indian context, since there is a rapid rise in criminal cases involving juveniles, high prevalence of child labour, non-registration of births, age forgery in sports, child pornography, and other forms of civil and criminal matters involving minors [ 5 , 19 , 28 ].…”

“…Apart from relationship of DA and oral pathology [ 3 ], it also plays a vital role in other subdisciplines of dentistry including “Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry” and “Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics” for diagnosis and treatment planning [ 4 ]. Therefore, accurate and simplified methods for DA estimation (DAE) are increasingly in demand [ 5 ]. Interdisciplinary research in craniofacial region has resulted in the development of many different methods of DAE in recent past.…”

“…[ 11 ] in 2016. DAEcc was later tested in the National Capital Region of the Indian population and the study validated that no significant difference exists between DA estimated by DAEcc and the original Demirjian’s DAE method [ 5 ]. In addition, DAEcc has significant advantages of accuracy in forensic on-field applications, being time- and cost-effective with a reduced paper load, and ease in comprehension.…”

Dental age estimation has its application in various subdisciplines of medicine and dentistry. New methods of dental age estimation are emerging and it’s important that we compare different methods to determine which one is more closely related to the chronological age. Demirjian’s method is one of the most widely used technique and has been tested in various ethnic populations globally. In 2016, Another, approach to dental age estimation is the London atlas of human tooth development and eruption. No study has compared both Demirjian’s comprehensive chart and London atlas method in the Indian population. Hence, in the current study we estimated dental age using both Demirjian’s comprehensive chart and London atlas method for association with the known chronologic age in children and adolescent orthodontic. The study also attempted to determine if sexual dimorphism existed in dental age estimated by the two methods. Dental age estimation was performed for both the methods on 100 orthopantomogram records (50 males and 50 females, aged 6-16 years) of orthodontic patients. The data were compared and analysed using paired t-tests. There was an overestimation of dental age by Demirjian’s comprehensive chart on an average of +1.3 in males and +0.5 in females, whereas using London Atlas, it was +1.4 years in males and +0.5 years in females. The mean of underestimation was -0.6 years in males and -0.8 years in females using Demirjian’s comprehensive chart, whereas it was -0.8 years in males and -0.5 years in females. A statistically significant difference (P<0.0001) was found when mean chronological age (11.6±2.6) of the participants was compared with dental age estimated using either Demirjian’s comprehensive chart (12.3±2.8) or London Atlas (11.8±2.9). The trends in this pilot study point towards more accuracy of London atlas over Demirjian’s method when done using comprehensive chart for estimating dental age. Studies with larger sample and on diverse ethnic population should be done to validate this finding.

“…Also, dental radiographic for dental treatment as antemortem data are readily available from the dental office. Panoramic radiographs were chosen for this study because they are thought to be the best approach for radiographic examination in children and adolescents, whereas intraoral x-rays are more challenging to apply in children [ 16 ]. Dental age estimation is considered the most accurate method because it shows a high correlation between age and teeth [ 15 ].…”

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.
