Abstract

Age is one of the important parts of the identification process, which is an requirement in legal framework, criminal investigation, and, in health care, to provide significant information for diagnosis and treatment planning. Age estimation is a major study in forensic, especially when the information related to the deceased is unavailable. Dental is one of the strong variables which could be used in estimating the age of living or deceased.

Therefore, studies of dental age estimation of various population were resulted different discrepancies. This paper reviews about studies of dental age estimation specifically in Indonesian population, including the population age, age estimation methods, study sample, and studies’ findings.

Third Molar Maturity Index in Indonesian Juveniles: Comparing Linear and Polynomial Kernel Performance in Support Vector Regression for Dental Age Estimation

“…Age estimation methods based on third molar development had been evaluated in the Indonesian population (Saputri, 2020). However, for I3M methods by Cameriere et al specific model has not yet been analyzed as the I3M method is more commonly used to assess legal age by using a specific cut-off value of <0.08, evaluated for applicability and reliability in different populations (Gomez Jimenez et al, 2019;Rozylo-Kalinowska et al, 2018).…”
