✦ Synopsis

The study of teeth to estimate age in a cadaver or in remains has become widely accepted in legal medicine, especially since the appearance of Gustafson's work in 1950. However, many studies published since that time have questioned the accuracy of these determinations. Computerized image analysis (IBAS) provides much more precise measurements of the parameters involved in these studies. An IBAS I (Kontron) image analysis system was used to study 19 different morphological parameters in midsagittal sections of a total of 173 upper and lower central incisors from as many live subjects. The data thus obtained provide useful information for determining the subject's age.

In forensic dental medicine, one of the most important endeavors is the estimation of age. We have studied the method of age assessment using the D/L ratio of aspartic acid from the dentin. The age of deciduous teeth has been estimated by measuring the racemization reaction of this amino acid. The r

Modifications to the Gustafson method of age estimation from teeth are described. They are designed to minimise the subjective nature of the scoring technique and to quantify the regressive changes in the enamel, dentine and cementum. Randomly selected teeth from 25 Indians were examined by the Gust
