Age estimation is one of the essential factors in forensics. The hardness and resilience of teeth to the external factors such as chemicals, putrefaction, and fire explosions makes ita reliable source in age estimation. Simultaneously they also undergo age-associated regressive changes. Although age can be estimated by various methods but each method has its own pros and cons. The present study was undertaken with the aim of evaluating three histological method using teeth. The objectives of the study also included assessment and comparison of two methods of age estimation employing multiple histological parameters, assessment of age estimation using single histological parameter, comparison of methods using multiple histological parameters with a single parameter method for age assessment. In our study we have found that method where multiple parameters were used gave us the better results however a variation in age assessment does exist and the search continues.
