Abstract
The precision and accuracy of three commonly used methods for age determination by teeth were studied in 541 children aged 5.5-14.5 yr. These methods rely on estimation of tooth development as seen in radiographs compared with compiled dental charts. It was found that charts made from Scandinavian populations gave a rather good precision, while one from a Canadian population gave a consistent overestimate. Dependent on the method used, sex, and age, the 95% confidence interval for an individual prediction could be more than +/- 2 yr.Entities:
