Abstract
Aims And Objectives: Age assessment is of broader importance in forensic science for identification of individuals in crimes and accidents involving legal issues. Although various age estimation methods do exist radiographic age estimation methods such as Demirjians and Williems methods are more commonly employed. In the present study the above mentioned methods were used. This time bound study was to test the applicability of both the methods among children residing in Mangalore. Materials And Methods: The study consisted of randomly selected 30 subjects ranging from 6 to 18 years. Dental age estimation was performed from orthopantomogram images from archives by Demirjian’s and Willem’s methods. The differences between the chronological age and the estimated dental age were calculated and the data obtained was statistically analysed. Results: This study emphasized that Demirjians method was more accurately applied for the population in Mangalore.
