A forensic aspect of age characteristics of dentine using transversal microradiography: a case report

چکیده
BACKGROUND Translucency of dentine is the result of occlusion of the corresponding dentinal tubules by a mineral substance which has a refractive index similar to that of the rest of the dentine. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes the microradiographic features of an upper cadaveric canine. Transverse microradiograph is one of the methods assessing apical dentine translucency for various dental and medical reasons. CONCLUSION Estimation of age using teeth structures may be of primary value in forensic dentistry, especially when soft tissues are severely destructed.
