- Abstract
External inspection of the dead permits only approximate estimation of age. Estimation of age becomes difficult as age advances, particularly after the age of 25 years. Changes in the pubic symphysis, cranial vault suture closure, transparency of root and root length measurement have been considered as good parameters to estimate age beyond 25 years. The reliability of coronal suture closure, when used as a single parameter to estimate skeletal age accurately has not been demonstrated. Hence this study was conducted to check for its reliability in age estimation.
