Age estimation using physiological changes of teeth
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of the study was to study the physiological changes of teeth according to the Gustafson’s criteria and to estimate the age according to these physiological changes. The study was carried out in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery Jaipur Dental College Jaipur. Cases received for extraction. The armamentarium used in this study is Electric lathe, Carborundum stone (rough and smooth), Alcohol and Xylene, Formalin, Microscope and slides. On comparing the means of both the calculated age and the actual age, it was observed that the difference between them was statistically significant except in the age group of 40-50 years group. On calculating the age mean error was found to be ± 4.86.

Physiological Changes in Teeth as a Tool to Estimate Age
With increasing age there are many changes in teeth such as attrition, peridontal disease, deposition of secondary dentine, root translucency, cementum apposition, root resorption, color changes, and increase in root roughness. By taking into consideration these secondary changes in teeth with advancing age, various studies were done to estimate the age of an individual. Such research has resul...

متن کاملA comparative study of efficacy of single rooted and double rooted teeth in age estimation using dentin translucency.
BACKGROUND Among various methods of age estimation using dental tissues, measurement of root dentin translucency (RDT) is said to be the most accurate. Numerous studies have estimated age by measuring RDT in single and double rooted teeth and have shown conflicting results. Only few studies have compared efficacy of using single and double rooted teeth for RDT measurement in age estimation. A...
متن کاملA modified Gustafson method of age estimation from teeth.
Modifications to the Gustafson method of age estimation from teeth are described. They are designed to minimise the subjective nature of the scoring technique and to quantify the regressive changes in the enamel, dentine and cementum. Randomly selected teeth from 25 Indians were examined by the Gustafson method and by our own modification. It was shown that our modified method resulted in more ...
