Abstract

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 Gustafson method and by our own modification. It was shown that our modified method resulted in more accurate and reproducible age estimations than did the original method.

摘要

本文描述了对古斯塔夫森牙齿年龄估计方法的改进。这些改进旨在尽量减少评分技术的主观性，并对牙釉质、牙本质和牙骨质的退行性变化进行量化。采用古斯塔夫森方法和我们自己的改进方法对随机选取的25名印度人的牙齿进行了检查。结果表明，与原始方法相比，我们的改进方法能得出更准确、可重复的年龄估计结果。
