Abstract
The teeth are frequently better preserved than other material, their use for identification of an individual's age at death is very important. Dental aging received considerable attention within the forensic medicine and forensic odontology. Kilian's method is based on the subjective evaluation of six markers: the degree of attrition, the secondary dentine, the secondary cementum, the resorption, the transparency and the position of epithelial attachment. Kashyap and Koteswara Rao's method is based on the quantitative evaluation of four markers: the abrasion, the secondary dentine, the secondary cementum and the transparency. Our research is based on the confrontation of modification of Gustafson's aging method with using five markers: the degree of attrition, the secondary dentine, the secondary cementum, & the resorption and the transparency and made the regression equations for age determination of Indian population. Our results of age estimation were obtained using the Gustafson's aging method and Kilian's method after multiple regression of all studied were applied (absolute mean error of estimation 4.95 years — 95% CI ± 2.04).
