Abstract
Age determination at death of skeletal remains can prove difficult. The teeth are often well preserved and could present the only means for an age evaluation.

This has now been verified by means of measuring the extent of root dentin transparency. The importance of teamwork in difficult cases regarding assessment of age in skeletal remains is pointed out.
