NEET-PG 2014 — Dental

Q: Age estimation from teeth can be done by all the following methods, except:

Frame's method. ***Frame's method*** - **Frame's method** is not a recognized technique for **age estimation from teeth**. It is commonly described in the context of forensic anthropology concerning **bone analysis**. - While other methods listed explicitly use dental parameters, Frame's method is unrelated to direct **dental maturity** or **wear analysis**. *Boyde's method* - **Boyde's method** involves analyzing **incremental lines in enamel** or cementum, which are indicators of rhythmic growth and can be used for age determination. - This method focuses on the **microscopic structure** of tooth tissues to estimate age, a common approach in forensic odontology. *Miles' method* - **Miles' method** assesses age based on the degree of **attrition or tooth wear** observed on a molar's occlusal surface. - It is particularly useful for **age estimation in skeletal remains** where other dental indicators might be limited or absent. *Gustafson's method* - **Gustafson's method** is a comprehensive approach that considers six parameters of dental change: **attrition**, **secondary dentin deposition**, **periodontosis**, **cementum apposition**, **root resorption**, and **transparency of root dentin**. - These parameters are assigned scores, summed, and then correlated with age, making it a widely used and reliable method for **forensic age estimation**.
