Determining a patient's dental age is essential from the dental standpoint but can also have connotations of a forensic, anthropological and medicolegal nature. In this study, we assessed the correspondence between dental age and chronological age in a group of 50 children with autism spectrum disorders, with a chronological age range of 3-17 years. The dental age was calculated using panoramic radiography images, applying linear regression models derived from the classical indices by Nolla and Demirjian. In 2 of every 3 boys, the dental age was ahead of the chronological age, and in almost 1 of every 3 cases, the difference was ≥ 12 months. In the girls, conversely, we found no significant differences between dental age and chronological age.
从牙科角度来看，确定患者的牙龄至关重要，但也可能具有法医学、人类学和医学法学性质。在这项研究中，我们评估了 50 名自闭症谱系障碍儿童的牙龄与实际年龄之间的相关性，这些儿童的实际年龄范围为 3-17 岁。使用全景放射影像图，通过 Nolla 和 Demirjian 的经典指数得出线性回归模型，计算出牙龄。每 3 个男孩中就有 2 个的牙龄比实际年龄大，几乎每 3 个案例中就有 1 个的差异超过 12 个月。相反，在女孩中，我们发现牙龄与实际年龄之间没有显著差异。
