"Age Estimation through Dental Evidence: A Comprehensive Review of Methods, Accuracy, and Application in Forensic Dentistry"

Abstract :Age estimation is a crucial element in forensic science, particularly when identifying unknown individuals in criminal 
investigations or disaster scenarios. Among various techniques, dental evidence has gained recognition for its accuracy and 
reliability. This article examines the primary methods used in age estimation through dental evidence, including morphological, 
histological, and radiological techniques. The paper highlights the advantages and limitations of each method, and how they 
contribute to establishing an individual's age with varying degrees of precision. The role of age estimation in forensic and 
archaeological studies is also explored. With advancements in dental technology and methodology, age determination from 
dental evidence remains an indispensable tool for forensic experts. This review aims to offer insights into the current state
and future prospects of dental age estimation.
