Abstract

Objective:To determine the frequency distribution the of mandibular third molar teeth development with age and gender based on Demirjian method for forensic application
Material and Methods:A crossectional study was conducted from July 2015 to December 2015. Using convenient sampling technique by taking 741 subjects of Peshawar population who fulfil the inclusion criteria were selected. Out of which 356 were females, and 385 were males and their age ranged from 13 years to 25 years. The development of both left and right mandibular third molar teeth were scored using Demirjian tooth developmental stages from D to H.
Results:The teeth developed approximately similar in both males and females. Very less difference was found in left and right mandibular third molar teeth.
Conclusion:The obtained data of the current study is useful for references and determining the age of unidentified humans. However, further study is required because there is no single parameter available for age estimation.
