Age determination with radio morphometric investigation employing orthopantomography and mandibular morphometrics - An original research
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: BACKGROUND - Mandible is a thick, dimorphic bone that is remarkably well-preserved might help in morphometric analysis, structural changes related to age and sex and forensic age determination. MATERIALS AND METHODS - The main aim was to evaluate the accuracy of the mandibular radio morphometric parameters for age estimation in the South Indian population utilizing digital over-the-glass age gauges, as well as their association with chronological age. RESULTS - Minimal correlation was observed between gonial angle and age, ramus breadth and age whereas moderate correlation was observed between bicondylar/bigonial width and age. Moderate-to-high correlation observed between condylion gonion/coronoid gonion length with age. CONCLUSION - Important indicators for age estimation include the bigonial breadth, bicondylar width, and coronoid, or gonion length. As such, the morphometric analysis of the mandible might be useful in forensic odontology.
