Estimating Subadult Age from the Dentition

Eruption and wear of teeth have been used extensively in aging the human skeleton. Tooth development is more closely associated with chronological age than is development of more other skeletal parts, and it seems to be under tighter genetic control. Sex-based variation on development and eruption of teeth is most apparent at the canine position, and this tooth sould be afforded less attention when aging eruption dentitions. When aging the subadult is based on dentition, we must note all aspects of development, including the completeness of all crowns and roots (it means Formation) and the place of each tooth relative to alveolar margin ( Eruption). be sur to make different between eruption through the alveolar margin ( bonny part) or through the gum (soft tissue).
in addition dental develpoment is differnt to sex and population.
