Abstract
Estimating age becomes a challenging task in medico-legal cases depending upon the nature of sample or evidence. In forensic odontology, dental growth and development parameters have been correlated with age using number of techniques. Since many years, different methods have been proposed to estimate age and with the span of time and these have been modified in order to attain greater accuracy. Generally, it is suggested to accommodate various techniques of skeletal, dental and molecular aspects to enhance the results, most importantly in the case of forensic matters where precision and accuracy is the foremost concern of the forensic odontologist dealing with the dental evidence. This paper reviews the common radiological and morphological methods used to estimate age in forensic odontology.
