Özet
The purpose of this study is to estimate chronological age and determine whether individuals were aged under or over 18 years using root pulp visibility (RPV) in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. The study included CBCT images of 699 individuals aged between 15 and 75 years. One thousand twenty-three mandibular second molar (2M) teeth were evaluated using Olze's RPV method in four stages. Descriptive statistics of the stages and the relationship between the stages and the chronological age were assessed. The distribution of the stages was analyzed according to the 18-year age threshold. There was a positive correlation between RPV stages and chronological ages in both sexes. For females and males, the mean ages of stage 0, stage 1, and stage 2, for females and males, were found as 27.21, 28.93, and 33.68 years, and 37.69, 40.9, and 44.88 years, respectively. Stage 0 and stage 1 were found both in individuals aged under and over 18 years, and stage 2 and stage 3 were not observed in individuals aged under 18 years. The presence of stage 2 and stage 3 may be an indication that an individual is aged over 18 years according to Olze's RPV age estimation method. For more reliable results, 2M teeth should be examined bilaterally in forensic science.
