What is Studies of the chronological course of wisdom tooth eruption in a Japanese population about?

The importance of forensic age estimation in living subjects has grown over the last few years. In dental age estimation, tooth eruption is a parameter of developmental morphology that can be analyzed by either clinical examination or by evaluation of dental X-rays. In the present study, we determined the stage of wisdom tooth eruption in 549 male and 751 female Japanese subjects aged 14-26 years based on radiological evidence from 1300 conventional orthopantomograms. The results presented here provide useful data on the age of alveolar, gingival, and complete emergence of the third molars in the occlusal plane that can be utilized for forensic estimation of the minimum and most probable ages of investigated persons.
