Comparing methods for estimating age through dental development
In short: A literature review evaluating various dental age estimation techniques found that while Demirjian's method is the most widely used, different populations show discordant results when comparing it to other established methods.
The review synthesized existing research from PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scimago to compare Demirjian's method against several alternatives, including Willems', Nolla's, and Smith's methods. Because the review relies on existing studies across diverse populations, the accuracy of any single method may vary depending on the specific group being studied.
Why it matters: No single dental age estimation method is universally superior across all human populations.
