Abstract
The standard age estimation methods of Moorrees, Fanning & Hunt (1963) and that of Demirjian, Goldstein & Tanner (1973) have been shown by several authors to be inaccurate when applied to their juvenile population. This was similarly found to be true in South African children. Pantomographic radiographs of samples of South African children of White, Coloured, Indian and Black origin were used to develop dental age related tables for these ethnic groups. These dental age estimation tables were tested and are presented.Entities:
