AbstractTeeth are an excellent material in living and non-living populations for anthropological, genetic, odontologic and forensic investigations. The aim of the present study was to estimate the age using molar’s attrition grading. A total of 135 Maxillary molar’s were selected. The attrition conditions of the molar’s crown were analyzed. Linear equations for age estimation were derived by mean of regression analysis. There were highly statistically significant correlation between molar’s attrition and chronological age. When the age of individual remained completely unknown, the best estimates were provided by first maxillary molar.
Key words attrition, age, molar, regression equation.
