Abstract

Objective: To examine the possible application of pulp/tooth area ratio of canine in Intra Oral Periapical X-ray using RVG for estimation of age of an individual.Material and Method: 25 Individuals aged between 18 to 27years, with apparently normal canine were included in the present study. Radiovisuographic images of canine of upper and lower jaws were obtained. These images will be then transformed to CAD2007 software from which area of pulp/tooth ratio will be calculated with the help of 10 points from each tooth outline and 5 points for each pulp outline. By using regressive formula the age was calculated.Results: The estimated age using maxillary canine (x1) showed no statistically significant difference between the estimated age and the real age (p=0.1) which means that there is little difference between real age and estimated age. So, it is feasible to estimate age using Pulp to tooth area ratio of maxillary canine.
