A Radiographic Assessment of 3rd Molar Development in Forensic Identification to Evaluate Age, Gender, Jaws, and Symmetry

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3

Abstract

Age estimation in forensic odontology by radiographic means of third molar in human is the simplest and popular one. This study tested 250 patients of both sexes equally in the age group of 14 -25 years with intraoral periapical radiograph for age estimation, jaw, symmetry, and gender variation. The results were that significant radiographic grading predicts the age group, no variation in the right and left symmetry of both jaws. No association between grading and gender were established.
