Human Age estimation by Dentin Translucency and Cementum Annulation Count: A light microscopic study

Abstract

Identification of living and dead persons is of paramount importance in routine forensic odontology. Age determination plays an important role in forensic medicine, not only in identification of bodies, but also in connection with crimes. Age estimation is a subtle discipline of the forensic sciences and it should be an important part of every identification process, especially when information which is related to the deceased is unavailable.
