The objective of this study was to determine which teeth provide the most reliable data for use in age estimation. We studied 170 teeth from the anterior region (central and lateral incisors, and canines) and used an image analysis technique to analyse a number of morphometric features in thin sections of tooth. Our results showed root translucency to be the variable most clearly related to the subject's age, and the canine teeth to provide the most reliable information on this variable.
