Age Estimation of Infants Through Metric Analysis of Developing Anterior Deciduous Teeth Viciano, Joan De Luca, Stefano Irurita Olivares, Javier Alemán Aguilera, María Inmaculada This study provides regression equations for estimation of age of infants from the dimensions of their developing deciduous teeth. The sample comprises 97 individuals of known sex and age (62 boys, 35 girls), aged between 2 days and 1,081 days. The age-estimation equations were obtained for the sexes combined, as well as for each sex separately, thus including “sex” as an independent variable. The values of the correlations and determination coefficients obtained for each regression equation indicate good fits for most of the equations obtained. The “sex” factor was statistically significant when included as an independent variable in seven of the regression equations. However, the “sex” factor provided an advantage for age estimation in only three of the equations, compared to those that did not include “sex” as a factor. These data suggest that the ages of infants can be accurately estimated from measurements of their developing deciduous teeth. 2024-01-24T13:37:05Z 2024-01-24T13:37:05Z 2018 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/10481/87224 doi: 10.1111/1556-4029.13505 eng open access
