Özet
Purpose: Age prediction is an important factor in the legal process in forensic medicine. The present study aims to assess the
impact of pulp height and width on dental age prediction.
Materials & Methods: This study consisted of 1000 patients (11-77 years, 500 females and males). The mandibular őrst molar was
assessed on panoramic radiography. Two age estimation models were applied. Model 1 included measurements of pulp length and
crown length whereas parameters of model 2 were crown width and pulp width. Patients were divided into 4 age groups: Group 1
(between 11 and 18 years), Group 2 (between 19 and 29 years), Group 3 (between 30 and 50 years), Group 4 (between 51 and 77
years). Radiographs were evaluated by two observers. Multiple linear regression models were performed to predict the
chronological age for each indicator. Pearson correlation coefőcient was used to assess the relationship between chronological age
and predicted dental age.
Results: Coefőcients of models 1 and 2 were 0.461 and 0.523, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative
relationship between chronological age and, pulp height and width ratio. The difference between sex was not statistically
signiőcant. Group 3 showed the highest accuracy, whereas Group 4 showed the lowest among age groups.
Conclusion: The parameters based on width and length provided similar reliability on dental age estimation. The age between 30
to 59 years showed the highest accuracy of the pulp width and the pulp height in dental age prediction.
