Dental Age Estimation

With a relative estimated age, the search can be significantly narrowed down, which increases the chance of identification. When there is a case of mass disaster or any cluster victim situations, determining the age from the teeth is generally employed for the identification. Determination of age from teeth can be also helpful to law enforcement to aid cases such as child labor, status of minority, rape, adoption, eligibility for marriage, etc., when there is no legal birth certificate is issued or available.
