The formulae given by which of the following can be helpful in estimation of age of unknown human skeletal remains ?
Answer: B
Age can be estimated with Gustafson's formula.
Gustafson (1950) estimated adult age from six changes in a tooth: attrition, secondary dentine, periodontal attachment, cementum apposition, root resorption and root transparency. Each is scored and the total is put into a regression formula to give an age.
The other names are linked with stature, not age: Pearson (1899), Trotter and Gleser (1952) and Dupertuis and Hadden (1951) all gave regression formulae for estimating living height from the lengths of long bones.
