Radiographic evaluation of the wisdom teeth (third molar) formation is a widely used age assessment method for adolescents and young adults. This systematic review examines evidence on the agreement between Demirjian's development stages of the third molar and chronological age.We searched four ...
Age estimation from stages of epiphyseal union in the presacral vertebrae The presacral vertebrae have various secondary centers of ossification, whose timing of fusion can be used for age estimation of human skeletal remains up ... HFV Cardoso,L Ríos - 《American Journal of Physical Anthropology...
Fasting blood samples and 24-hour urine samples were also obtained from 20 males and 23 females 0 to 50 years of age for the assessment of renal carnitine reabsorption. Results: Serum free carnitine increased with age in children of both sexes, reaching adult value between 15 to 20 years of...
The aim of the study was to search for data on dental development correlated to age and use this information for building up a 'tooth development diagram'. The diagram was based on the following four relatively easy recognized stages in tooth development: commencement of mineralization, completion...
Two maturity indicators, the sesamoid and the epiphyseal-diaphyseal stages of ossification, were evaluated. Reliability of the method was tested by the t test for paired comparisons and the Pearson product-moment correlation. To determine the validity of the method, an analysis of variance (ANOVA...
Chronological age corresponding to individual stages of third molar development was calculated separately for individuals with all four third molars present and separately for individuals with 1 to 3 third molars agenesis. With this division it was possible to decrease the error of age estimation to ...
Age is the key risk factor for diseases and disabilities of the elderly. Efforts to tackle age-related diseases and increase healthspan have suggested targeting the ageing process itself to ‘rejuvenate’ physiological functioning. However, achieving this aim requires measures of biological age and rate...
Eight stages, A to H, have been defined from the first appearance of calcified points to the closure of the apex. The method of Tanner, Whitehouse and Healy for skeletal maturity has been used for deriving a score for each stage of each tooth. The summed scores on all seven teeth give...
Introduction: The availability of pediatric age- and sex-matched reference curves for bone markers is essen- tial for appropriate assessment of bone turnover and treatment follow-up of bone disorders. The aim of this work was to obtain updated reference equations for collagen type I C-telopeptide...
