The accuracy of Belgrade Age Formula method for dental age estimation in Montenegrin children aged 10–12 years

Introduction/Objective. The aim of the study was to test accuracy Belgrade Age Formula (BAF) for dental age estimation on sample Montenegrin children. Methods. radiographs 134 children (67 females and 67 males) saved as ?jpeg? files were analyzed with Image J software. Sex, number teeth complete development, apex width tooth length mandibular canine second molar used in order calculate BAF formula. Results. discrepancy between estimated chronological -0.088 ? 0.64 years; absolute difference 0.52 0.39 years. percentage participants whose differed six months from their 61.2 53.7 males, respectively, while 12 94 83.6 respectively. Conclusion. may be an accurate approach estimating aged 10?12 years uncompleted development. However, has evaluated a larger infants future studies.
