FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY UNIT 5

Which method is commonly used for age estimation through radiographic analysis of teeth?

• Gustafson’s technique

• MRI method

• Kohler’s method

• DNA barcoding

Demirjian’s method is primarily used to assess age based on:

• Skin elasticity

• Tooth development stages

• Eye color changes

• Voice pitch

Which method is used for age estimation by observing the root development in teeth?

• Open Apex Method

• Blood type comparison

• Nail growth method

• Hair density calculation

Gustafson’s method involves how many variables?

• Four

• Six

• Eight

• Ten

What does Johanson’s modification relate to?

• Correction of dental X-rays

• Updates to Gustafson’s method

• Hairline regression in aging

• Skeletal height estimation

Which of the following is assessed in Gustafson’s method?

• Eye lens changes

• Tooth wear and root transparency

• Skin wrinkling

• Voice deepening

Cementum incremental lines are used in age estimation because they:

• Change color over time

• Reflect yearly deposition

• Disappear with age

• Indicate calcium deficiency

Dentine translucency increases with:

• Dehydration

• Physical activity

• Age

• Blood loss

Which method involves measuring open apices in developing teeth?

• Kohler et al. method

• Open Apex Method

• Roentgenographic superimposition

• Somatoscopic assessment

Cementum analysis is helpful in age estimation because it:

• Has unique genetic markers

• Grows in clear annual layers

• Forms only in elderly individuals

• Absorbs UV radiation
