Abstract
Introduction: The estimation of age is an important parameter in the identification of living individuals and human remains; In the literature there are several investigations that account for the parameters and methods used to estimate them. Objective: to analyze the scientific evidence available on the estimation of dental age in subadults in reference to the parameters, estimation methods, age range, n of the sample and the sex of the individuals, origin of the population and the precision of the method. Materials and methods: narrative review. A review of the research articles published in the Science Direct and Springer Link databases was carried out, from 2010 to date (08-13-2020), excluding studies carried out with archaeological samples, 75 articles were selected, and a doctoral thesis. Results: Seventy-five articles were based on development parameters and one on aspartic acid slowdown parameters. A total of 56 articles were evidenced in which the method was validated and 19 articles in which comparisons between the methods were made. The most used method corresponds to Demirjian, the age range of 5-15 years was the most predominant in the samples used in the articles, the average for the male sex was 367 and for the female sex it was 416, the highest numbers of studies have been conducted in the Turkish population. Regarding precision, the Cameriere method showed in 64% of her studies that there were no significant differences between the real age and the estimated age. Conclusion: The development parameters are the most used in the dental age estimation processes in subadults. Children les tan 5 years of age correspond to the least studied population. The female sex was the most predominant in all the samples. Cameriere's quantitative method is the one with the highest percentage of precision in the articles.
