Background: Forensic dentistry is a specialized field that evaluates dental evidence to identify
unidentified individuals and missing persons in legal proceedings. Dental charts are compared with
known records to establish identity. Accurate age determination is crucial, and dental age
assessment is reliable up to 17 years. The study aims to analyze permanent teeth eruption patterns
of canines and premolars in school children aged 10 to 12, contributing valuable insights for
accurate age determination and identification in legal cases. The research seeks to aid the
interest of justice in criminal, civil, and employment-related scenarios by understanding dental
eruption patterns in this age group.
Methods: This was across-sectional study conducted among the school children of south Kerala
belonging to age group of 10-12 years. Eruption pattern of permanent canines and premolars of 562
subjects were recorded and analyzed using SPSS software.
Conclusion: Sequence of eruption pattern of permanent canines and premolars were compared and it
was observed with statistical significance that eruption of canineprecedes the eruption of second
premolars. All the teeth erupted earlier in females compared to males.There was a significant
relation with reduced body mass index and delayed eruption of teeth.
