Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the relevance of three mathematical models used in determining age on the basis of number of erupted teeth on the panoramic radiographs of children of known chronological age. The research was conducted on 200 panoramic radiographs of children aged from 6 to 16 years. The known chronological age of children is compared with the results of the panoramic radiographs analyses of all three models, and in that way the most accurate model for determining age is produced.The results showed that the best assessment of the chronological age on the whole sample is given by the Model A (maxillary and mandibular teeth, except germs). It could be concluded that Model A could be used as a simple way of determining age in forensics, where it is not possible to count the tooth germs.
