ABSTRACT
Introduction: dental mineralization stages have been used in several studies to
estimate age, and the results obtained have been found to be reliable.
Objective: correlate third molar mineralization and chronological age using the
methods developed by Nolla, Demirjian, and Nicodemo, Moraes and Medici Filho in
a population sample from Northeast Brazil.
Methods: of a total 1 205 digital panoramic radiographs, 297 were selected of
patients routinely seen in a private dental radiology service. All the images
underwent darkroom evaluation by three qualified examiners using the methods
developed by Nolla (1960), Demirjian (1973), and Nicodemo, Moraes and Medici
Filho (1974). Numerical data were summarized by location and dispersion
descriptive statistics. For statistical analysis a simple linear regression model was
adjusted which considered age as response variable. A significance level of 5 % was
adopted for the tests.
Results: third molar development occurred earlier in males in most stages by the
three methods. In upper teeth, sexual dimorphism was more evident in Nolla stage
"7" (difference of 16.34 m in tooth 18 and 14.43 m in tooth 28). In lower teeth, the
greatest differences occurred in Nolla stage "6" (difference of 13.92 m in 38 and
10.46 m in 48) and Nicodemo stage "5" (difference of 16.23 m higher in tooth 38
and 9.9 m in 48). Third molar development was similar on the right and left sides,
but greater in upper teeth than in lower teeth. The study allowed development of
linear regression formulas based on the three methods proposed, making it possible
to estimate the chronological age of the individuals in the sample.
Conclusions: the three methods found a correlation between third molar
development and chronological age.
