Abstract

Objective: Age estimation is an essential aspect in forensic human identification, involving cases of unknown chronological age and determining the age of a dead person. The present study purposed to examine the accuracy of Cameriere’s dental age estimation method for adults in Surabaya population. Materials and Methods: 42 subjects participated in this study, and the measurement of pulp/tooth area was performed using Adobe Photoshop® CS6. Cameriere’s formula was then applied to calculate the dental age (DA). Results: The mean absolute error (MAE) of the dental age of all subjects was 7.23 years. The MAE value based on sexes showed that the female subjects (MAE = 6.15 years) had a higher accuracy rate than male subjects (MAE = 8.32 years). Based on the age groups in both sexes, the best MAE value was 4.92 years in the age group of 30-39 years. Conclusion: The present study suggests that Cameriere’s method for adults can be applied to estimate the DA of Indonesian population, and has an excellent level of reliability in females (30-39 years).
