Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="author" id="ab0005"> <title id="sect0005">Abstract</title> <sec> <p id="sp0045">The estimation of age of adult individuals usually employs methods based on age-related changes in the human skeleton. The main aim of this study was to assess dental age through analysis of images from peri-apical x-rays based on a new algorithm for automatic estimation of pulp and tooth area. The algorithm was tested on a sample of 40 canines of males and 30 of females from subjects between the ages of 20 and 70.</p> </sec> </abstract>
