Age estimation in adult human sound and periodontally affected teeth using tooth cementum annulations

Conclusion TCA is reliable for sound but not for periodontally affected teeth using either LM, PM or PHM. Moreover, PHM is a more accurate microscope for TCA in contrast to LM & PM. Interestingly, a novel regression formula was developed to enable estimating age in periodontally affected teeth by TCA method.
