Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
Age determination of unknown human skeletal remains has played a very significant role in the field of anthropology. Present study is aimed to determine age on the basis of change in vertical position of mental foramen (MF) by using panoramic radiographs of 100 individuals in Haryana population. Study sample was divided into five age groups as Group I, Group II, Group III, Group IV and Group V showing age 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50 and 51-60 years respectively. Three measurements were made on the mental foramen of left side only by using tracing paper and HB pencil. Collected data was analyzed statistically. One way ANOVA and Post hoc Tukey tests were used for analysis. Statistically significant results were noticed in different age groups (p <0.05).
