Download or read book Estimation of Skeletal Age at death from Dental Root Translucency written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimating the biological profile for an unknown individual is a crucial part of forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology and paleodemography. The current research deals with one aspect of the biological profile: estimation of skeletal age-at-death. Several methods are available to estimate skeletal age-at-death, but most involve placing a skeletal element into a phase category. This type of phase-oriented age estimation, in addition to improper statistical methodology, leads to several problems: 1) observer subjectivity; 2) large age ranges and open-ended intervals; 3) stages that overlap one another; 4) aging bias; 5) age mimicry; and 6) taphonomic problems. Solutions to these methodological and statistical problems were offered by utilizing two dental metric features, translucency of the root and periodontal recession, and applying appropriate statistical analysis. Three skeletal collections, The Robert J. Terry Anatotomical Collection, The Baraybar Forensic Biosample Collection, and the Launchheim Medieval Cemetery Collection, dental remains were analyzed. Single-rooted teeth were analyzed following Lamendin et al's (1992) method. The data were analyzed in the R statistical package using Bayesian analysis and inverse calibration. Age-at-death estimates for the Baraybar sample were generated by two inverse calibration methods and Bayesian analysis. The three age estimates were compared to highlight inherent problems with the inverse calibration methods. The results showed that the Bayesian analysis reduced severity of several of the problems associated with adult skeletal age-at-death estimations. The Bayesian age-at-death estimates produced a lower overall mean error and higher correlation with actual age as compared to the inverse calibration methods for the Naraybar Forensic Biosample Collection. In addition, the Bayesian approach reduced aging bias, age mimicry, and the age ranges associated with the most probable age. The Baraybar Forensic Biosample Collection was used as a reference sample for the Launchheim sample. Age-at-death estimates were also generated for this sample employing the two inverse calibration methods and Bayesian analysis. This research lead to the conclusions that that periodontal recession cannot be used as a univariate age indicator, due to its low correlation with chronological age. On the contrary, apical translucency yielded a high correlation with chronological age and was concluded to be an important age indicator. The Bayesian approach offered the most appropriate statistical analysis for the estimation of age-at-death with the current samples.

Download or read book Forensic Anthropology and Medicine written by Aurore Schmitt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-09 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent political, religious, ethnic, and racial conflicts, as well as mass disasters, have significantly helped to bring to light the almost unknown dis- pline of forensic anthropology. This science has become particularly useful to forensic pathologists because it aids in solving various puzzles, such as id- tifying victims and documenting crimes. On topics such as mass disasters and crimes against humanity, teamwork between forensic pathologists and for- sic anthropologists has significantly increased over the few last years. This relationship has also improved the study of routine cases in local medicolegal institutes. When human remains are badly decomposed, partially skelet- ized, and/or burned, it is particularly useful for the forensic pathologist to be assisted by a forensic anthropologist. It is not a one-way situation: when the forensic anthropologist deals with skeletonized bodies that have some kind of soft tissue, the advice of a forensic pathologist would be welcome. Forensic anthropology is a subspecialty/field of physical anthropology. Most of the background on skeletal biology was gathered on the basis of sk- etal remains from past populations. Physical anthropologists then developed an indisputable “know-how”; nevertheless, one must keep in mind that looking for a missing person or checking an assumed identity is quite a different matter. Pieces of information needed by forensic anthropologists require a higher level of reliability and accuracy than those granted in a general archaeological c- text. To achieve a positive identification, findings have to match with e- dence, particularly when genetic identification is not possible.

Download or read book Some Difficulties in the Gustafson Dental Age Estimations written by WR. Maples and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimation of the age at death of an individual from dental remains is commonly practiced. Ages of mineralization, crown completion, eruption, and root completion are usually accurate and reasonably easy to determine. After these and other growth processes are completed (at approximately age 30 years), age estimation becomes more difficult. Histological changes in bones and teeth have great potential for being the best age indicators for adult life.
