Abstrakt: As the teeth are more durable than other parts of the skeleton, they provide valuable data for age estimation. Age estimation from adult teeth is mainly based on secondary dentin production. The present study aimed to devise a regression formula for age estimation specific to the Anatolian population using the Kvaal method on CBCT reconstructed panoramic images. In total, 201 individuals aged between 20 and 69 were divided into two groups: data from the study group (n = 101) were used to create the regression formulae, and data from the control group (n = 100) were used to test the formulae. Pearson's correlation coefficients and linear regression analyses were performed. Maxillary teeth provided more accurate age estimates than mandibular teeth. The regression formulae derived in this study are found to be statistically applicable and reasonably accurate. However, these results should be interpreted with caution.
