Evolution of dental age estimation methods in adults over the years from occlusal wear to more sophisticated recent techniques

Abstract Background Age estimation has been an integral part of forensic science, and age estimation by dental means is by far the most commonly employed method. Dental age estimation in children is more accurate and straightforward as most methods use the chronological stages of odontogenesis that...
