dental age, biological age, method for determining dental age, orthopantomogramAbstract
Purpose: to study the methods for determining the dental age of children described in scientific sources, as well as to assess the availability and complexity of such methods and the reliability of the results obtained.
Materials and methods. Literary review of world scientific publications on modern methods for determining the dental age in children.
Results. The literature presents various methods for assessing dental age, which can be classified as: visual, radiological, morphological, biochemical, histological, and the like. Each of these methods has numerous copyright modifications, depending on the region of residence, belonging to a particular race or gender, the methodology of the research itself, and many other factors. Dwelling on individual techniques, one can analyze both the complexity and availability of their implementation, and the reliability of the expected results.
Conclusions. Methods based on the study of the formation of bone and dental structures are the most common, accurate and effective in determining the dental age of children, since they practically do not depend on environmental factors, are not exposed to environmental and social factors and are mostly genetically determined.
