Métodos de transparencia radicular para determinar la edad dental en cadáveres adultos.

This research paper addresses root transparency methods for age determination in adult cadavers, considered a valuable alternative when bodies cannot be identified due to advanced decomposition or severe burning. These methods are handy in forensic contexts where other age estimation techniques may be ineffective, especially in adults who have surpassed the stage of dental development. This literature review aims to describe root transparency methods for estimating dental age in adult cadavers. After posing the PICO question, “What are the most effective root transparency methods for determining dental age in adult cadavers?” an analysis was conducted on 22 articles selected from the PubMed, Portal Regional BVS, Dentistry & Oral Science Source, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases, based on established inclusion criteria. The results reveal that the Prince & Ubelaker method is the most accurate for age estimation. This method demonstrates superior reliability, providing consistent and precise results, making it a valuable tool in forensic investigations. Understanding the advantages of root transparency methods is essential to appreciate their applicability and scope in forensic practice. Among these advantages are their non-invasive nature, the ability to provide accurate age estimates, and their usefulness across a wide range of postmortem conditions.
