AGE DETERMINATION BY TEETH
FORENSIC DENTISTRY |
| Abstract: |
Dental age determination in children and adults is an important task in the clinical, forensic and archaeological examinations. The objective of this paper was to compare the reliability of the Demirjian’s and Haavikko’s methods in the determination of chronological age of Croatian children. Dental maturity was studied by the use of 115 panoramic radiographs of Caucasian children of both sexes aged between 4 and 17, from the archives of the School of Dental Medicine and the Dental Clinic of the Clinical Hospital Centre in Zagreb. The median age for both groups was 12 years. Correlation coeffi cient between estimated and real age for the total sample according to Demirjian’s method was 0.96 (p<0,001), while for Haavikko’s method it was 0.97 (p<0,001). According to the monitored methods, the correlation coeffi cients for both sexes were high and statistically signifi cant. Results of this research show the possibility for use of both methods in clinical and forensic cases in Croatia. |

| Abstract: |
Many authors consider that the contours and dimensions of TMJ continue to be reshaped and remodeled even after the period of growth and development is complete, in response to changing mechanical stresses under influence of aging, abrasion and the loss of the teeth. Therefore, the aim of this study was to find out if aging and the loss of teeth make any influence on TMJ. The sample consisted of 80 dry skulls and their mandibles. The following parameters were measured: 1A (AB) the distance from the lateral ending of petrotympanic fissure to the intersection of petrotympanic and petrosquamosus fissure, 1B (BC) the distances from the intersection of petrotympanic and petrosquamosus fissure to the most prominent part of the articular eminence, 1C (AC) the distance from the lateral ending of petrotympanic fissure to the most prominent part of articular eminence and 2 (h) the depth of the mandibular fossa. Measured values were analysed in connection with sex, age, the different percentage of the remaining teeth and the left or the right side. There was no significant difference at the probability level of 95%, nor for the left and the right side, neither for the different age groups, sex and the different percentage of the remaining teeth (p greater than 0.05). Still, it is obscure the existence and the changes in TMJ when the growth is completed. It is necessary to study this problem on the bigger sample and the new methods as CT and artroscopy could be helpful. |
