Demirjian Method

The Demirjian Method is a dental age estimation technique where mandibular teeth are rated in a specific order and assigned a letter stage from A to H based on the degree of root development. Stages A through H describe the calcification and root development of molars, premolars, canines, and incisors from the initial crypt outline to fully formed roots with closed apices.
