Abstract

Objectives: Estimating age is a crucial determinant of forensic science. Various methods have been used to estimate dental age (DA) and skeletal age (SA).The aim of the current study was to compare the Cameriere's DA method with the Cameriere's SA method in estimating CA in children.

Materials and methods: A total of 216 radiographs of 130 females and 86 males (between 9 to 14.99 years of age) were evaluated in northwestern Turkey. DA was calculated on the panoramic images using Cameriere's open-apex method. SA was determined on the lateral cephalograms using the fourth cervical vertebrae method by Cameriere. The DA, SA, and CA data were compared using a paired t-test and Wilcoxon test.

Results: The mean CA of all groups was calculated as 12.96±0.30, the mean DA of 12.74±0.68 and the mean SA of 12.89±0.89. In males, the DA method presented an underestimation between ages of 14.00 and 14.99 (p<0.05) and an overestimation between ages 9.00 and 11.99 (p<0.05). In females, the DA method showed an underestimation in the 13.00- and 14.99-year-old age groups (p<0.05) and an overestimation in the 10.00- and 11.99-year-old age groups (p<0.05). The SA method revealed a significant underestimation in females between the ages of 13.00 and 14.99 and in males between the ages of 14.00 and 14.99 (p<0.05).

Conclusions: The SA estimation method may provide more accurate results compared to the DA method with children of both sexes aged between 9.00 to 12.99 in the determination of CA.

儿童牙齿和骨骼年龄估算方法的比较。

目的:年龄估计是法医学的一个重要决定因素。各种方法被用来估计牙齿年龄(DA)和骨骼年龄(SA)。本研究的目的是比较Cameriere的DA法和Cameriere的SA法在估计儿童CA方面的作用。材料和方法:在土耳其西北部对130名女性和86名男性(年龄在9至14.99岁之间)的216张x线片进行评估。采用Cameriere开顶点法对全景图像进行DA计算。采用Cameriere第四颈椎法在侧位头像上测定SA。采用配对t检验和Wilcoxon检验比较DA、SA和CA数据。结果:各组平均CA为12.96±0.30，平均DA为12.74±0.68，平均SA为12.89±0.89。在男性中，DA法在14.00 ~ 14.99岁之间存在低估(ppppp)。结论:对于年龄在9.00 ~ 12.99岁的男女儿童，SA估计法的CA测定结果可能比DA法更准确。
