The present study proposes equations for age determination both in living and dead children, obtained with the help of stepwise ascending multiple linear regression. The equations should be applied, based on the number of erupted teeth and tooth germs, which were detected on radiographs, during clinical examination and in infant skeletal remains. The proposed equations proved to be efficient just like Demirjian's method used as a reference today, and permit age estimation till 20 years of age.
本研究提出了通过逐步递增多元线性回归得出的用于确定活产和死亡儿童年龄的方程式。这些方程式应根据在临床检查期间和婴儿骨骼遗骸的X光片中检测到的萌出牙和牙胚数量来应用。事实证明,所提出的方程式与如今用作参考的德米尔坚方法一样有效,并且能够对20岁以下的年龄进行估计。
