Abstract

In forensic dentistry chronological age (CA) plays a pivotal role in identifying a person and eliminating disputes. The main aim of the study to correlate between biological and CA by two radiographic indexes oro cervical radiographic simplified score) & orocervical radiographic simplified score without wisdom tooth it based on oro-cervical area. sample size taken was 108, who were further classified into 3 groups based on their CA. Group 1=8-14yr; Group2=14-18yr; Group3=18-25yr. The following method of age estimation were carried out-Demirjian's method for dental age calculation, Cervical Vertebral maturation Method for calculating the skeletal age, Third molar development method for age estimation.
