Dentistry has several recognized specialities. Age, race and sex determination together with dental identification and facial reconstruction on skeletal material are procedures that the forensic odontologist has to master. The use of Gustafson's method to determine age in an examination of 350 teeth of living and/or dead males and females from the Heidelberg area, Germany is discussed.
