Evaluating the accuracy of Kvaal ’s method for age estimation in a selected Iranian population

Conclusions: For young adults, the M and W-L variables anticipated accuracy rates lower than those of Kvaal ’s reference study which were within an acceptable threshold for forensic application (SEE<10 years). Therefore, the two variables and not formulas are proper measurements for forensic age estimation in Iranian young adults. However, underestimation was predominant for the middle age and old age participants.
