Abstract

As a tool for human identity and age estimation, dental evidence is critical in a range of criminal cases and badly damaged mass disaster victims. The purpose of this study was to see if there was a difference between chronological age and estimated dental age using the Demirjian and Chaillet-Demirjian methods in Maharashtra children and adolescents. Demirjian and Chaillet Demirjian techniques were used to evaluate digital orthopantomograms of 96 participants aged 6 to 18years. For male and female, the difference in mean chronological age and estimated dental age was between -0.73-1.3 years and -0.9-1 years using the Demirjian method, and between -0.57-2.13 years and -1.25-0.49 years using the Chaillet-Demirjian method. The statistical analysis software Rstudio revealed a substantial positive connection in both techniques for chronological age.In addition, one-way ANOVA test in Demirjian (F = 40.63, p< 0.05) and Chaillet-Demirjian (F=7.29, p< 0.05) methods revealed statistically significant differences. In Maharashtra population, the Demirjian method shown to be more feasible than the Chaillet-Demirjian method.
