title: The validity of four methods for age determination by teeth in Swedish children: a multicentre study.
abstract: Four principally different methods for age determination of children by means of teeth have been tested on a Swedish population. 197 panoramic radiographs of children aged 5, 6, 9 and 12 years were collected and examined by 13 independent pedodontists, radiologists and forensic odontologists. The results showed a satisfactory precision for those methods which have been developed on a Scandinavian population, but a method from a French-Canadian population showed a consistent over-estimation when used on the Swedish children.
