Online published on 27 November, 2019. Abstract In forensic dentistry chronological age (CA) plays a pivotal role in identifying a person and eliminating disputes. The main aim of the study to correlate between biological and CA by two radiographic indexes oro cervical radiographic simplified score) & orocervical radiographic simplified score without wisdom tooth it based on oro-cervical area. sample size taken was 108, who were further classified into 3 groups based on their CA. Group 1=8-14yr; Group2=14-18yr; Group3=18-25yr. The following method of age estimation were carried out-Demirjian's method for dental age calculation, Cervical Vertebral maturation Method for calculating the skeletal age, Third molar development method for age estimation. Top Keywords Forensic Science, Age estimation, Demirjian's method, Cervical Vertebral maturation Method, Third molar development method, age calculation. Top |
