Title: | Third Molar Development: Evaluation of Nine Tooth Development Registration Techniques for Age Estimations | Authors: | Thevissen, Patrick W. FIEUWS, Steffen Willems, Guy |
Issue Date: | 2013 | Publisher: | WILEY-BLACKWELL | Source: | JOURNAL OF FORENSIC SCIENCES, 58 (2), p. 393-397 | Abstract: | Multiple third molar development registration techniques exist. Therefore the aim of this study was to detect which third molar development registration technique was most promising to use as a tool for subadult age estimation. On a collection of 1199 panoramic radiographs the development of all present third molars was registered following nine different registration techniques [Gleiser, Hunt (GH); Haavikko (HV); Demirjian (DM); Raungpaka (RA); Gustafson, Koch (GK); Harris, Nortje (HN); Kullman (KU); Moorrees (MO); Cameriere (CA)]. Regression models with age as response and the third molar registration as predictor were developed for each registration technique separately. The MO technique disclosed highest R2 (F 51%, M 45%) and lowest root mean squared error (F 3.42years; M 3.67years) values, but differences with other techniques were small in magnitude. The amount of stages utilized in the explored staging techniques slightly influenced the age predictions. | Notes: | [Thevissen, Patrick W.; Willems, Guy] Katholieke Univ Leuven, Sch Dent, Forens Odontol Dept, Fac Med, B-3000 Louvain, Belgium.
