Age estimation is an important problem both in living and dead, young and adult, subjects. In the last years Cameriere and all have published several papers about age estimation methods. This workshop is an aid in the knowledge and understanding of the techniques used with an easy and fast visualization of all the necessary points for their application.

Adobe® Photoshop® is used for this method to determinate the area of the pulp chamber of a canine and it’s entire area. This two variable, together with the sex variable, are inserted in the regression formulae to evaluate chronological age of a living or dead adult subject.
