Sex-specific linear regression models for age estimation using Cameriere’s third Molar Maturity Index (I3M): a preliminary report from Turkiye

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Cameriere's Third Molar Maturity Index (I3M) exhibits a statistically significant inverse association with chronological age and can be utilized to construct sex-specific linear regression models for age estimation in Turkish adolescents and young adults. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Key Points

This study aims to develop sex-specific linear regression models for estimating chronological age using Cameriere's Third Molar Maturity Index in Turkish adolescents and young adults.
Retrospective cross-sectional study evaluating 200 digital panoramic radiographs.
Participants aged 14-22 years were examined for I3M using ImageJ-based measurements.
Linear regression models were constructed for the pooled dataset and separately by sex.
I3M was significantly inversely associated with chronological age across all models (p < 0.01).
The models demonstrated a strong predictive capacity for age estimation based on I3M measurements.
