Dental Age Estimation by Assessing the Pulp Volume of Five Teeth in a Peruvian Population Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images

Dental age estimation is very important for individual identification in criminal and civil forensic investigations. One of the methods studying related changes pulp volume teeth. The objective current study was to estimate dental from five different categories teeth a Peruvian sample using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Retrospective CBCT records 231 patients [females (134), males (97), age: 12-60 years] were included study, categorized into groups (12-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 years older). teeth(upper canines, left upper central incisors, first molars, lower premolars, molars) analyzed Romexis® 5.3.3.5 software each patient. There reduction right canine with age. lowest people aged over. Linear regression analysis chronological showed coefficient determination 30%, suggesting weak correlation. A correlation between derived. But, robust large homogenous future may establish reliable equation.
