Abstract
Age estimation of children and adolescents is essential to answer a variety of legal questions, including issues of status of majority and criminal liability. The teeth are useful predictors of age in this agegroup, particularly because of their relative accuracy and also because of the lack of other reliable predictors. Aim:To estimate the Dental age using modifiied Demirjian’s method and India specific formula and to correlate it with the chronological age of children and adolescents of south Kerala origin by using panoramic radiographs.Methods:By using Digital OPGs of 100 subjects aged between 8 & 18 years (50 males & 50 females), dental age was estimated by using modified Demirjian’s method and India specific formula. Spearman rank correlation test was done to assess the correlation between dental age (DA) and chronological age (CA). Results &Conclusion:The mean CA was 14.31+_ 2.66 and the estimated DA by Demirjian’s formula was 12.93 +_ 2.08 and by Indian formula it was 14.73 +_ 2.90 with gender variability .There were significant correlation between DA & CA in both methods; even though the original method underestimated the age by 1.38 years.
