The importance of forensic age estimation in living subjects has grown over the last few years. In dental age estimation, tooth eruption is a parameter of developmental morphology that can be analyzed by either clinical examination or by evaluation of dental X-rays. In the present study, we determined the stage of wisdom tooth eruption in 549 male and 751 female Japanese subjects aged 14-26 years based on radiological evidence from 1300 conventional orthopantomograms. The results presented here provide useful data on the age of alveolar, gingival, and complete emergence of the third molars in the occlusal plane that can be utilized for forensic estimation of the minimum and most probable ages of investigated persons.
在过去几年中，对活体进行法医年龄估计的重要性日益增加。在牙齿年龄估计中，牙齿萌出是发育形态学的一个参数，可以通过临床检查或牙科X光片评估来分析。在本研究中，我们根据1300张传统口腔全景片的放射学证据，确定了549名年龄在14至26岁的日本男性和751名日本女性智齿萌出的阶段。这里呈现的结果提供了关于第三磨牙在咬合平面上牙槽、牙龈及完全萌出年龄的有用数据，可用于法医估计受调查者的最小和最可能年龄。
