Background: The hard tissues of human dentition are able to resist decay and degradation
long after other tissues are lost. This resistance to decay has made teeth useful for
calculation of age at death of an individual. Recent research indicates that tooth cementum
annulations (TCA) may be used more reliably than other morphological or histological traits
of the adult skeleton for estimation of age. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to
examine the correlation between age and the number of incremental lines in human dental …
