A estimativa da idade é um método que tem ganho grande importância para resolver problemas médico-legais civis, penais ou sociais, principalmente devido ao aumento da taxa de emigração (Cameriere et al. 2014). Torna-se, assim, importante desenvolver métodos não destrutivos fiáveis de estimação da idade. O presente trabalho teve como objectivo principal averiguar se o método de estimativa da idade de Cameriere é aplicável à população portuguesa, através da sua validação recorrendo aos segundos pré-molares superiores, em radiografias panorâmicas. Para a realização deste objectivo foi selecionada uma amostra de 100 indivíduos, de ambos os géneros, entre os 15 e 35 anos, aos quais foi realizada uma radiografia panorâmica. A partir desta foram realizadas as medições da área total do dente e da área da polpa correspondentes aos dentes 15 e 25. Todos os dados obtidos foram colocados em três folhas Excel e a análise estatística foi realizada com recurso ao programa IBM SPSS Statistics 21. Com este estudo concluiu-se que, com a aplicação do método de Cameriere na população portuguesa parecem haver diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre a idade cronológica e a idade dentária estimada pelo método de Cameriere utilizando os segundos pré-molares superiores, isoladamente ou em conjunto. Deste modo, a estimação da idade apresenta pouca fiabilidade.
Age estimation is a method that has achieved great importance to solve medicolegal, civil and social issues, specially due to the increasing emigration rate (Cameriere et al. 2014). Therefore, it’s important to develop non-desctructive methods that are reliable to age estimation. The main goal of this study is to evaluate if Cameriere’s method of age estimation is applicable to the Portuguese population using the second upper pre molars in orthopantomography. In order to reach this goal, a sample of 100 individuals between 15 and 35 years old from both genders was selected, to whom an orthopantomography was performed. Based on these, all measures related to the teeth 15 and 25 were computed (total tooth area, total pulp area). All the data were inserted in 3 Excel sheets and the statistical analysis was performed with the IBM SPSS Statistics 21 program. With this study we conclude that the application of Cameriere’s method in Portuguese population reveals the existence of statistically significant differences between the chronological age and the dental age estimated by Cameriere’s method using second upper pre molars, in separate or together. In this way, the age estimation has low reliability.
