Age estimation is an important exercise undertaken in clinical forensic medicine for various civil & criminal purposes. In developing country like lndia, paucity of reliable documentary evidences like birth certificate, board certificates makes this job even more important. Non availability of reliable local data for estimation of age is an incriminating factor for miscarriage of justice. Hence this study was undertaken to assess age of adolescents by radiography.
