In a medicolegal setting, the remains of a deceased individual may range from a small amount of material, e.g. a single tooth, to a well-preserved unidentified body. Hence, several methods covering this spectrum exist. Even though an age assessment is somewhat more reliable in sub-adults than adults, an assessment of age cannot be obtained with high accuracy and should be given as a range.
