| Abstract |
The aim of the study was to compare two frequently used dental age estimation methods for accuracy. A total of 479 panoramic radiographs in age groups 6-14 years from a German population were evaluated. The dental age of 268 boys and 211 girls was assessed by means of the method of Demirjian (1973) and Cameriere (2006) and compared with their actual chronological age. Demirjan's method showed an overestimation of dental age compared to chronological age in all age groups for boys (mean difference -0.16, p = 0.010, range -0.35 to 0.09), age group 9 showed an underestimation. Using the same method for girls (mean difference -0.18, p = 0.008, range -0.45 to 0.13), an overestimation could also be shown in all age groups except for age groups 8 and 13. Results for Cameriere's method showed for boys (mean difference 0.07, p = 0.314, range -1.38 to 3.83) in age groups 6 to 11 an overestimation, but in age groups 12 to14 an underestimation. The results for girls (mean difference 0.08, p = 0.480, range -1.55 to 4.51) showed an overestimation for age groups from 6 to 10, and an underestimation in age groups 11 to 14. The comparison shows an advantage of Demirjian's method for both genders. While Cameriere's method showed a higher inaccuracy in all age groups, Demirjian's method showed more appropriate results for dental age estimation of the investigated German population. To avoid errors in forensic age estimation and to prevent misidentifications for defendants in criminal processes, further studies of more precise methods for age estimation for the German population are required. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 November 2016.
All research outputs
#20,351,881
of 22,899,952 outputs
Outputs from BMC Oral Health
#1,167
of 1,477 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#270,519
of 312,900 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Oral Health
#12
of 15 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,899,952 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,477 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 312,900 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 15 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
