BACKGROUND:Teeth are the most durable structures in the human body. The pattern of their development has been used as a credible technique of age determination of unidentified bodies. Dental age estimation is by comparison of the dental status of an individual with published dental surveys. The third molars are the last teeth to erupt and are regarded as the most variable in the dentition. Nevertheless, radiographs depicting their growth have been used to determine the chronological age. Third molar tooth development can be reliably used to generate mean age and the estimated age range for an individual of unknown chronological age. AIM: The Aim of this research is to estimate the human age based on the development of third molar. The objective of this study was to establish third molar morphology/development for age estimation adolescents between ages 14 and 65 years MATERIALS AND METHODS: The orthopantograms of 280 samples (males and females), were examined and the stage of third molar development were evaluated. RESULT: According to the present study if the third molar have reached stage A, the age of the person would be above 14 and if it has reached stage G, then the age of that particular person would be above 20. The third molars were evaluated by demirjian method of tooth development. Stage A,B,C,D was commonly seen in individuals between 14-20 years. Stage E,F,G,H was commonly seen in individuals above 21 years. CONCLUSION: Third molar erupts at the later stages of life and is the last teeth to erupt . Thus third molar development is a valuable tool for age estimation in late adolescence and early adulthood as there are no other indicators available for age estimation.
