Abstract

Age estimation is essential in the eld of forensic sciences for the identication of diseased victims and also for crimes and accidents. Dental maturity plays an important role in estimating the age of individuals because of the low variability of dental indicators. Chronological age, recorded by registration of birth date, is referred throughout an individual's life. Age is an essential factor not only in clinical practice & research but also in the court of law. Dental age is vital as tooth development shows less variability than other developmental features and hence the different age estimation methods using dental tissues and their eruption sequence of the teeth became crucial in establishing the age of an individual especially those persons in the interest of forensic science. This paper discusses different methods of age estimation using teeth as possible indicator for the biological age, growth & development of the body.
