Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Dental age estimation techniques are the most reliable as teeth are minimally influenced by environmental factors, ensuring a high degree of accuracy. Due to the need for accurate age estimation in unknown human bodies identification, dental age estimation has been a pivotal area within forensic science. This book focuses to provide the systemic evolution of dental age estimation methods and its fascinating journey along with a brief explanation of teeth development for the better understanding of all the methods, and not just that, but it also focuses on the legal aspects/importance of age estimation and the age-related laws in India. Ultimately, understanding this evolution of techniques to estimate the age of an individual would enhance the knowledge of forensic odontology in terms of identification of an individual and his/her age through tooth and motivate the reader for future studies incorporating combinations of multiple methods with advancing technologies, large sample sizes, and robust statistical analyses that would potentially enhance the accuracy and reliability of currently available age estimation techniques and methods.
