Age estimation using third molars in forced migrant populations: Determining age and probability
The model offers, in addition to estimated age, the likelihood that an individual is of a specific age or older, taking into account their dental maturity. This provides valuable supplementary information to authorities during the age assessment procedure. A web application has been launched to facilitate the retrieval of age estimates and associated probabilities when inputting the dental maturity index value.
