Description
Mohammed Alrashidi and co-authors check two dental age methods on Saudi children in a 2023 study. Tooth growth stages can estimate a child's age, a tool with legal and clinic value. Two named methods, Demirjian's and Willems', are widely used but were built on other populations.
Jaw X-rays from three hundred children aged seven to thirteen were scored by both methods. Each dental age was set against the child's true age. Both methods overestimated age in boys and girls alike, per early results. Paired tests weighed the gaps. Local checks like this matter: a method that runs high or low can mislead courts and clinics that rely on it for age calls.
