摘 要:Due to the secondary dentin formation,the dental pulp undergoes changes in shape throughout *** on this phenomenon,the Kvaal method has been applied to various populations for age estimation,and its usefulness has been *** applying the Kvaal method to Chinese subjects,we observed a relatively strong correlation between mandibular canines and *** study notes the correlation between canines and chronological age and is the first to identify which canine is most closely related to chronological *** addition,a new,simpler formula is determined based on canines according to Kvaal’s *** radiographs of 360 individuals from northern China were selected,from which the widths and lengths of the pulp from four canines were measured according to the Kvaal ***,inter-and intra-observer reliabilities were analyzed in order to assess the repeatability of these *** correlation between measurements and age was examined,and Chinese-specific age estimation formulae were *** results revealed that the ratios from the left maxillary canine exhibited the strongest correlation with age compared to the other canines,whereas the left mandibular canine showed the weakest correlation,which may contribute to the overall poor correlation of mandibular canines with ***’s more,the formula derived from the left maxillary canine in this study displayed the highest coefficients of determination,and the formula derived from all canines showed the lowest *** of these formulae performed better than the Chinese-specific formula derived from six different types of teeth in our previous study,which had formerly possessed the highest coefficients of determination and the lowest ***,we concluded that canines do play an important role in age estimation in the Chinese population,and the correlation between maxillary canines and chronological age is stronger than that of mandibular canines,although no distinct trend as t
