Abstract
Introduction: Accurate age estimation of an individual is extremely important in forensic dentistry and for various medical legal purposes. Age estimation is the process of determining a person’s age group based on biometric features. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine Age estimation with permanent first molar using Nolla’s method. It was also to evaluate the interrelationship between chronological and dental age according to both these methods and to evaluate which technique was better.
Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study involves retrospective evaluation of the Orthopanthomographs of 5-10 years old childrens who came for paediatric treatment in oral medicine and radiology department at Saveetha dental college and hospital. For every individual included in the study a panoramic radiograph was taken, with standard parameters and adequate protective measures.
Results and discussion: The study included 60 childrens. The standard deviation of male was found to be at 2.3056 and female were at 2.52003
Conclusion: We can conclude that it was found that male growth was ahead of females.
