Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND AIM: This study was designed to assess the correlation between chronological age and modified Demirjian estimated dental age.METHODS: Panoramic radiographs of 183 Patients between 13.5 and 20.5 years old were assessed for the developmental stage of lower right third molars. Student’s t-test was used to measure the same hypothesis of the chronological age and estimated modified Demirjian dental age described above and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to measure the linear correlation between them.RESULTS: The result of the test at a significance level of 95% led to the hypothesis. There was not any significant difference between estimated dental age measured by chronological age compared to modified Demirjian method (P = 0.81). Pearson correlation coefficient between dental age in modified Demirjian's method and chronological age was calculated 40%.CONCLUSION: The mean dental age in both male and female, was calculated 0.33 years less than chronological age.

Prediction of chronological age based on Demirjian dental age using robust ridge regression method

Introduction: Estimation of age has an important role in legal medicine, endocrine diseases and clinical dentistry. Correspondingly, evaluation of dental development stages is more valuable than tooth erosion. In this research, the modeling of calendar age has been done using new and rich statistical methods. Considerably, it can be considering as a practicable method in medical science that is...

Correlation between Chronological Age, Dental Age and Skeletal Age among Monozygoyic and Dizygotic Twins.

INTRODUCTION Chronological age, dental development, height and weight measurements, sexual maturation characteristics and skeletal age are some biological indicators that have been used to identify time of growth. Many researchers have agreed that skeletal maturity is closely related to the craniofacial growth, and bones of hand and wrist are reliable parameters in assessing it. The complete ha...

Correlation between chronological age and third molar developmental stages in an Iranian population (Demirjian method)

BACKGROUND Third molar development is the only available tool for estimating the age of individuals after puberty. Since this tooth has very high interethnic variability, formulas calculated to estimate the age from its development stages cannot be generalized to other populations and should be adjusted for each region. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate this method in a sample of ...

Evaluation of the accuracy of Demirjian method in estimating chronological age

Background and Aim:  Age estimation is one of the most important issues in forensic medicine, legal cases and orthodontic treatment. One of the most famous methods which is based on the maturity of teeth for determining dental age is Demirjian method. Due to the inconsistency of the results of studies conducted on different people groups, the present study was done to evaluate the accuracy of D...

Comparison between Nolla and Demirjian dental age assessment methods: a Systematic Review

Background: Estimation of age has great importance in clinical practice, not only in orthodontics, being commonly used forensic medicine, radiology and paediatrics. For this reason, the Nolla and Demirjian methods have been developed. Several studies have been performed to determine the chronological age analysing the dental mineralization stage, however, it is not a straightforward analysis. T...
