Third molar as a diagnostic tool for age estimation in forensic odontology: An exploratory study
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Age estimation is an essential part of forensic expertise. Identifying individuals in cases of natural disasters, wars, criminal cases and in terms of employment also, age estimation is an important tool. Apart from the bones, secondary sexual characters and the body proportions, teeth are a useful tool in age estimation process. Teeth have been since long a valuable tool in the hands of forensics for establishing personal identity. The various stages of the third molar development were correlated to the radiographical findings on Orthopantamogram similar to Demirjian et al.;(original criteria).
