“…20 In contrast, a recent study of Turkish children could not find significant positive secular trends in dental maturity from the 1980s through to the 2000s. 21 These current findings showed a better accuracy of DAA in the subsequent group than in the early group. This could be due to a secular trend in dental development in Finnish children.…”

“…18 A secular trend in the development and maturation of permanent teeth has been documented mainly in European and European-origin populations in the last 100–200 years. 18–21 Dental age is of interest to paediatric dentists and orthodontists for diagnosis and treatment planning, 2 and the potential existence of a secular trend in dental development and maturation may have an influence on daily practice and research. In terms of DAA, the existence of a secular trend in dental maturation would call for a constant updating of the reference set used for the calculation of dental age.…”

Objective To analyse the accuracy of a meta-analysis-based dental age assessment (DAA) method in Finnish paediatric patients and to compare the dental development between two generations of Finnish children. Methods Panoramic radiographs of Finnish Caucasian healthy children from two generations (early: born 1981–1984; subsequent: born 1996–2008) were analysed. All developing teeth on the left maxilla and mandible as well as the third permanent molars were analysed following Demirjian’s classification. For each patient, dental age was calculated and compared with chronological age. Dental maturation patterns between the two groups were compared. Results The study included 200 Finnish Caucasian healthy children from two generations (early: aged 7–13 years; subsequent: aged 6–15 years). In the early generation, DAA underestimated the chronological age by a mean of 3.15 years. The underestimation was only 0.11 years in patients < 10 years, but 3.86 years in patients ≥ 10 years. In the subsequent generation, the dental age was overestimated by a mean of 0.34 years; by 0.40 years in patients < 10 years and by 0.08 years in patients ≥ 10 years. Conclusions The present DAA method is applicable to current Finnish children. Differences in dental development between two generations of Finnish children were detected.

“…The stages were allocated a biologically weighted score for each gender, and the sum of the scores provided an estimate of dental maturity, which was measured on a scale from 0 to 100 [49]. It was also reported to be reliable and reproducible [50].…”

Dental age assessment is one of the most reliable methods of chronological age estimation used for criminal, forensic and anthropologic purposes. Visual, radiographic, chemical and histological techniques can be used for dental age estimation. Visual method is based on the sequence of eruption of the teeth and morphological changes that are caused due to function such as attrition, changes in color that are indicators of aging. Radiographs of the dentition can be used to determine the stage of dental development of the teeth from initial mineralization of a tooth, crown formation to root apex maturation. Histological methods require the preparation of the tissues for detailed microscopic examination. The chemical analysis of dental hard tissues determines alterations in ion levels with age, whereas the histological and chemical methods are invasive methods requiring extraction/sectioning of the tooth. In this chapter, the different techniques and considered studies were overviewed in conjunction with their advantages and disadvantages. It needs to be taken into consideration that rather than restricting on one age estimation technique, using the other available techniques additionally and performing repetitive measurements may be beneficial for accurate age estimation.

This work aimed to assess the pulp/tooth area ratio’s utility in the upper central incisors using orthopantomograms. A convenience sample of 801 adult patient orthopantomograms was studied. Image J® software was used to measure the pulp/tooth area ratio, and a regression model was developed. Our results conclude that the methodology assessing upper incisors’ pulp/tooth area ratio using orthopantomograms can lead to age overestimation and statistically significant differences between chronological and estimated age. For those over 50, no correlation between pulp/tooth area ratio and chronological age was found, suggesting that this may be the upper limit of this technique in this population. This methodology may not be suitable for age estimation, particularly in older adults.
