Abstract Background Age estimation is a critical aspect of forensic practice, often requiring straightforward, accurate, and precise dental methods employed by experts in various contexts where their expertise needed. The third molar eruption analysis presents practical approach. This study evaluates the Gambier et al. scoring system for assessing legal adulthood (18 years) through observations black South African subadults. Materials A retrospective was conducted on 877 orthopantomograms...
Background: This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of dental anomalies and their ability estimate sex status. Material Methods: cross-sectional radiographic was based on evaluation Saudi children aged between 5 17 years. A total 1940 orthopantomograms (OPG) were screened, which 1442 included. All OPGs digitally evaluated with ImageJ software. The demographic variables anomaly findings subjected descriptive comparative statistical analysis. Discriminant function analysis conducted for...
The external human ear is considered to be highly variable among individuals. Hence, forensic applications could explored for identification. This research compares the usefulness of Cameriere's identification method, in samples originating from six different countries (Brazil, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa and Turkey) order examine possible differences their accuracy values. A sample 2,225 photographs (1,134 left 1,091 right ears) 1,411 individuals (633 females 778 males) was...
The effect of impaction on third molar development is disputable as the scientific literature not uniform. In parallel, population-specific studies have been encouraged in dental age estimation. This study aimed to investigate formation a sample Lebanese individuals. consisted 518 panoramic radiographs females (n = 229) and males 289) between 15 23.9 years. Mandibular molars were classified based their position non-impacted impacted (with horizontal, vertical, mesioangular, distoangular...
The aim of the present study is to assess relationship between chronological age (CA) and measurement open apices in teeth also accuracy Cameriere methods on dental (DA) estimation South Indian population.
Today, in most of the countries forensic dental identification is considered as one accurate and reliable method human remains. This application dentistry has proven successful both single cases well multiple fatality incidents such world trade center disaster 2001, Asian tsunami December 2004 etc. Comparative primary means along with DNA fingerprint analysis also common Identification remains from records mandated by law some countries. India disaster-prone world. It had world's severe...
In forensic practice, medicolegal physicians are often tasked with estimating age using dental evidence. This calls for an uncomplicated, reliable, and reproducible method estimation, enabling to proceed without specific odontological expertise. Among various methods, third molar eruption analyses less complicated easier perform. our study, we explored the effectiveness of Gambier et al.'s scoring system, which examines all molars. We retrospectively analysed 1032 orthopantomograms (528...
The impact of impaction on the development third molars remains a subject debate within scientific literature, given lack consensus. Simultaneously, there has been call for dental age estimation studies to consider population-specific factors. This research was conducted with objective examining influence formation in cohort female individuals black South African descent. study population comprised 428 panoramic radiographs, focusing females range 15 23.9 years. Within this sample,...
Abstract Pursuing a proficient age estimation methodology introducing novel radiographic methods remains an ongoing and demanding aspect of forensic medicolegal research. In 2017, Roberts GJ et al. (J Forensic Sci 62(2):351-4, 2017) described new method, i.e., root canal width (RCW) patterns to assign subject above 18-year-age threshold. Since then, few researchers have investigated the validity this method in other populations. The present study aimed test usefulness these RCW predicting 18...
Predicting one's attainment of age majority is a controversial issue and considered as important aspect in medicolegal cases. In India, individuals older than 18 years have full capacity regarding civil conduct are tried adults for criminal charges.To compare the accuracy Olze et al., stages radiographic visibility root pulp, Cameriere's third molar maturity index (I3M < 0.08) to estimate majority.A total 615 digital orthopantomographs children aged between 15 22 years. The lower left molars...
