Abstract
In the last few years, forced and unregistered childmarriage has widely increased into Turkey. The aim of this study was to test the accuracy of cut-off value of 0.08 by measurement of third molar index (I-3M) in assessing legal adult age of 18 years. Digital panoramic images of 293 Turkish children and young adults (65 girls and 128 boys), aged between 14 and 22 years, were analysed. Age distribution gradually decreases as I-3M increases in both girls and boys. For girls, the sensitivity was 85.9% (95% CI 77.1-92.8%) and specificity was 100%. The proportion of correctly classified individuals was 92.7%. For boys, the sensitivity was 94.6% (95% CI 88.1-99.8%) and specificity was 100%. The proportion of correctly classified individuals was 97.6%. The cut-off value of 0.08 is a useful method to assess if a subject is older than 18 years of age or not. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

| Digital panoramic images of 293 healthy subjects (165 girls and 128 boys), aged between 14 and 22 years, with no obvious developmental abnormalities, were selected at random from the digital archive of the Baskent University, Faculty of Dentistry during 2014 and 2015 years. The inclusion criteria were the following: age between 14 and 22 years at the time the panoramic radiographs were obtained, good quality radiographs, healthy subjects with known precise age and free of systemic disorders. Individuals of unknown age or those with no third molars or third molars with developmental anomalies (abnormally short roots, dysmorphology) were excluded. Patients’ identification number, gender, date of birth and date of the X-rays were recorded. The CA (chronological age) for each subject was calculated by subtracting the date of the X-ray from the date of birth. This study was approved by Baskent University Institutional Review Board (Project no: D-KA15/17) and supported by Baskent University Research Fund. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical standards laid down by the Declaration of Helsinki (Finland). The World Medical Association (WMA) developed the Declaration of Helsinki as a statement of ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects, including research on identifiable human material and data. 2.2 |
