Introduction: Demirjian’s dental maturity scores are widely used to assess dental maturity and estimate age. Various authors revised Demirjian’s method by adapting Demirjian’s stages and proposed new data for age estimation. The present study aimed to assess the age using original and modified Demirjian methods from the reference data and also to correlate dental age with chronological age. Materials and methods: In the target sample of 660 dental radiographs of age 6-16.99 years, seven mandibular permanent teeth (Central incisor I1 to Second molar M2) were assessed and dental age was calculated using four maturity scales and ten methods that use data for individual teeth.
