BACKGROUND:-Accurate age data are always necessary in medicine and dentistry, and are also important to assess maturity and estimate age in a number of disciplines, such as forensic odontology, paediatric and preventive dentistry, orthodontics, etc. The use of radiographs for age estimation is characteristic of techniques that involve observation of the morphologically distinct stages of mineralization. AIM:- The study aims to assess dental age and its correlation to chronological age using orthopantographic radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS:- A total of 100 patients were divided into two groups. 50 males and 50 females. The chronological age was assessed by recording their date of birth. An orthopantomogram was taken and dental age was assessed for all the patients. RESULTS:- A high significant correlation was observed between dental age and chronological age. CONCLUSION:-Examination of dental radiographs is a simple, non-destructive method that can be employed both on living individuals and on the unknown dead, either in identification cases or in archaeological investigations. Hence this study assess the dental age with the use of orthopantomograms.
