Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to develop an age prediction model of the Peshawar population and to compare the outcome of this study with other studies.

Materials and Methods: A total of 741 subjects of the Peshawar population who fulfill the inclusion criteria were selected, in which 356 were females, and 385 were males, and their age range from 13 years to 25 years.

Results: The Development of both left and right mandibular third molar teeth were scored using Demirjian tooth developmental stages from D to H. The teeth developed approximately similar in both males and females. Very less difference were found in the left and right mandibular third molar teeth. Multiple regression analysis shows that 81% of the variance in age was explained by the gender and developmental stage of third molar teeth. Age regression model was produced from the regression analysis: [Age=13.83+1.111(stage of tooth)-0.13(sex)].

Conclusion: The obtained data of the current study are 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.
