Abstract

Objective: The time of eruption of wisdom tooth predicts the age of the person.
Material and Methods: Study holds a comparative analysis of 293 students regarding wisdom tooth eruption status was categorized into fully erupted, partially erupted, un-erupted or surgically maneuvered. Statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics and correlation analysis, was performed to establish relationships between age and eruption status.
Results: Preliminary findings suggest a statistically insignificant relationship between the age of the students and the eruption status of their wisdom teeth. The majority of students aged 19-23 years exhibited various stages of wisdom tooth eruption.
Discussion: The results suggestion indicate that there is a discernible correlation between the age of individuals (within the age group of 19-23 years) and the eruption status of their wisdom teeth.

Conclusion: Estimation of age based on the eruption time of wisdom teeth holds promise as a non-invasive and easily accessible method. Within the specific age range of 19-23 years the wisdom tooth is inconclusive.
