A modified Gustafson method of age estimation from teeth.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modifications to the Gustafson method of age estimation from teeth are described. They are designed to minimise the subjective nature of the scoring technique and to quantify the regressive changes in the enamel, dentine and cementum. Randomly selected teeth from 25 Indians were examined by the Gustafson method and by our own modification. It was shown that our modified method resulted in more accurate and reproducible age estimations than did the original method.

A Bayesian approach to adult human age estimation from dental observations by Johanson's age changes.
Much of the data which appears in the forensic and archaeological literature is ordinal or categorical. This is particularly true of the age related indicators presented by Gustafson in his method of human adult age estimation using the structural changes in human teeth. This technique is still being modified and elaborated. However, the statistical methods of regression analysis employed by Gu...
متن کاملDevelopmental Stages of Third Molars in 16- to 22-year-old Patients Referred to a Clinic in Rafsanjan, Iran using Demirjian and Modified Gleiser and Hunt Methods
Introdouction: Age estimation is an important issue in forensics, particularly for treatment planning and determining patients’ rights. Radiographic evaluation of the third molar developmental stage is a significant criterion for age estimation. The pattern of tooth development is largely heritable and varies from race to race. The objective of this study was to radiographically examine and com...
متن کاملEstimation of geochemical elements using a hybrid neural network-Gustafson-Kessel algorithm
Bearing in mind that lack of data is a common problem in the study of porphyry copper mining exploration, our goal was set to identify the hidden patterns within the data and to extend the information to the data-less areas. To do this, the combination of pattern recognition techniques has been used. In this work, multi-layer neural network was used to estimate the concentration of geochemical ...
متن کاملDental maturity as an indicator of chronological age: the accuracy and precision of three methods.
The study was designed to investigate the accuracy and precision of three different methods for estimation of chronological age (Liliequist and Lundberg, 1971; Demirjian ci' al., 1973 and Gustafson and Koch, 1974), based on tooth formation. Accuracy test. For each method, the mean difference and degree of linear correlation between estimated and true chronological age was determined in 300 3.5-...

Introduction: Age estimation is one of the important issues for treatment planning and determination of patient’s rights in forensic medicine. In spite of various methods which have been introduced for age estimation, there is still no specific practical, non-invasive, and rapid method of age estimation for Iranian population. The aim of this study was to find a precise criteria for age estimat...
