Abstract

Age estimation is an important process in forensic identification, especially when there is insufficient antemortem information. Tooth is one of the strong variables which could be used in estimating the age of living or deceases. Non-invasive age estimation methods, including dental radiographs, have the advantage of uncomplicated application without damaging the oral and surrounding tissues. The aim of this research was to compare two radiographic dental age estimation methods, the London Atlas by Al Qahtani and the Schour & Massler Atlas in 3-23 years old Indonesian population. Two hundred and fifty-three panoramic radiographs from 156 females and 97 males with age ranged between 3-23 years old were retrospectively collected from a Dental Hospital. Age estimation was performed on the radiographs using the London Atlas and the Schour & Massler Atlas. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the chronological age and estimated age from two methods. There was an insignificant difference between estimated age by both Atlases (p> 0.05). Furthermore, there was also insignificant differences between estimated age of both Atlases and the chronological age (p> 0.05). The performance of London Atlas and Schour & Massler Atlas were equivalent in estimating 3-23 years old Indonesian in present study population.
