Abstract
Age estimation using forensic methodologies cover both living and dead people. In this regard, teeth are far more
beneficial for being among the most indestructible tissues of the body, both in life and after death. Considering that
maturity is function of age the objective of our study was to explore the utility of stages of tooth development in estimating
the chronological age, which may be considered as a tool in forensic investigations. The inference drawn from the
observations of the study results support the fact that the developmental stages of mandibular third molar yields
acceptable estimates of chronological age of a suitable individual.
