Adli Dişhekimliğinde Dişler Kullanılarak Yapılan Yaş Tayini Yöntemleri

Yaş tayini antropolojide, adli bilimlerde ve diş hekimliğinde oldukça önemli bir konudur. Günümüzde yaş tayininde en sık kullanılan yöntemler diş ve kemik gelişiminin değerlendirildiği yöntemlerdir. Canlı bireyler ve cesetler üzerinde yaş tahmininde kullanılan yöntemler arasında en güvenilir olanlardan biri dişler kullanılarak yapılan yaş tayinidir. Ceset kalıntılarında dişlerin sert yapısal özellikleri ile mekanik, kimyasal ve fiziksel etkilere ve zamana karşı son derece dirençli olmaları ve uzun süre morfolojik yapılarını korumaları nedeniyle araştırmacılara değerli bir bilgi sunar. Dişlerden yaş tayini 2 farklı dönemde yapılır. Çocuklarda geçici ve sürekli dişlerin gelişim aşamaları ve sürme zamanları değerlendirilir. Erişkinlerde ise sürekli dişlerde meydana gelen morfolojik ve biyokimyasal değişimlerin incelenmesi ile yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; genel olarak dişlerden yaş tayini amacıyla kullanılan yöntemlerin gözden geçirilmesi ve özellikle de radyografik yöntemleri değerlendirmesidir.

Age Estimation Methods Using Teeth in Forensic Odontology

Age determination is a very important issue in forensic sciences, anthropology and dentistry. Today, the most commonly used techniques for age determination are methods of evaluating dental and bone development. One of the most reliable methods for estimating age of living individuals and corpses is age determination using teeth. It provides valuable information to the researcher because of the hard structural features of the teeth in the remains of the body, their high resistance to mechanical, chemical and physical effects and time, and their ability to preserve their morphological structures for a very long time. Age determination from teeth is done in 2 different periods. In children, the developmental stages and eruption time of temporary and permanent teeth are assessed. In adults, morphological and biochemical changes that occur in permanent teeth are examined. The purpose of this study is to review the methods used for age estimate from teeth and is to evaluate especially of radiographic methods.
