“…The minor deviations of dental from chronological age, when WM and EF were employed, in the population of healthy children (Cameriere et al, 2007; Cameriere et al, 2008; Djukic et al, 2013; Kelmendi et al, 2018; Ozveren & Serindere, 2018; Marinkovic et al, 2018) prompted the realization of present investigation in children with CL/P.…”

“…Willems et al (2001) offered a revised DM. Dental age estimation according to Willems method (WM) in comparison with the estimation using original DM showed smaller deviations from chronological age in different populations (Liversidge et al, 2010; Djukic et al, 2013; Kelmendi et al, 2018; Ozveren & Serindere, 2018). Cameriere et al (2006) observed a significant impact of sex and ethnicity on dental age estimation.…”

Objective: To assess dental age and deviations of dental from chronological age according to the Willems and Cameriere methods (European formula) in patients with cleft lip and/or cleft palate (CL/P) and compare it with control group. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting: Clinic of Orthodontics. Participants: Sixty-nine patients with CL/P between 6 and 15 years of age (55 with unilateral and 14 with bilateral CL/P) with 148 panoramic radiographs. The same number of radiographs was examined in the age-matched control group. Main Outcome Measures: Estimation and comparison of dental age and differences of dental from chronological age in relation to the type of cleft, sex, and age in the group of patients with and without CL/P according to Willems and Cameriere method. Results: No significant intersex and intergroup differences were found in deviations of dental from chronological age according to Cameriere method ( P > .05). Significant difference in deviation of dental from chronological age was found between the patients with and without CL/P according to Willems method ( P < .001). Conclusion: Cameriere European formula for dental age estimation, which is not influenced by sex and tooth morphology, showed similar dental development of children with and without CL/P. However, Willems method detected that deviation of dental from chronological age significantly differed between children with and without clefts.

“…For Serbian, Macedonian and Kosovar children 20–22 all the studies compared Demirjian’s methods with Willems’, demonstrating that Willems’ method was the most accurate in dental age estimation. Furthermore, Demirjian’s method was considered not suitable because of an age overestimation in both males and females.…”

Dental age estimation: Demirjian’s versus the other methods in different populations. A literature review

et al. 2021

Age estimation is an important issue in forensic anthropology and odontology, since it is applied to both the living and the dead. Studies have shown that assessing tooth development using radiological methods is a reliable way to estimate age, especially in children. Demirjian’s method is the most widely used estimation method for dental age evaluation. Over the years, many methods have been developed in order to asses which one predicts more accurately the age. In the literature, many populations were examined with these different methods and discordant results are described. This review aims to evaluate the studies in which Demirjian’s method was compared with Willems’, Cameriere’s, Nolla’s, Smith’s, Haavikko’s and Chaillet’s methods in order to estimate the most accurate dental age estimation method in different populations. Using the methodology described in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement, the authors conducted a review of existing literature using three databases: PubMed, Google Scholar and Google Scopus.

“…In Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing need for age estimation in children because of human trafficking, migration, asylum procedures, child pornography, adoption of children without a birth certificate, and legal decisions. When all seven teeth are available, the Willems approach shows the least difference when dental and chronological age are compared and could be used for age estimation [ 17 ]. Furthermore, the Willems method has been validated using multiple country-specific reference data [ 8 ].…”

Background The aims of this study were to create a method for estimation of dental age in Saudi children and adolescents based on the Willems model developed using the Belgian Caucasian (BC) reference data and to compare the ability of the two models to predict age in Saudi children. Methods Development of the seven lower left permanent mandibular teeth was staged in 1146 panoramic radiographs from healthy Saudi children (605 male, 541 female) without missing permanent teeth and without all permanent teeth fully developed (except third molars). The data were used to validate the Willems BC model and to construct a Saudi Arabian-specific (Willems SA) model. The mean error, mean absolute error, and root mean square error obtained from both validations were compared to quantify the variance in errors in the sample. Results The overall mean error for the Willems SA method was 0.023 years (standard deviation, ± 0.55), indicating no systematic underestimation or overestimation of age. For girls, the error using the Willems SA method was significantly lower but still negligible at 0.06 years. A small but statistically significant difference in total mean absolute error (11 days) was found between the Willems BC and Willems SA models when the data were compared independent of sex. The overall mean absolute error for girls was slightly lower for the Willems BC method than for the Willems SA method (1.33 years vs. 1.37 years). Conclusions The difference in ability to predict dental age between the Willems BC and Willems SA methods is very small, indicating that the data from the BC population can be used as a reference in the Saudi population.
