TLDR
After reviewing various systems of age determination based on analysis of the pubic bone, the discussion concentrates on the collection and preparation of an extensive autopsy sample of pubic bones from modern individuals with legal documentation of age at death (death and/or birth certificates).Abstract:
After reviewing various systems of age determination based on analysis of the pubic bone, the discussion concentrates on the collection and preparation of an extensive autopsy sample (n=1225) of pubic bones from modern individuals with legal documentation of age at death (death and/or birth certificates). TheSuchey-Brooks method derived from this sample is described. TheAcsadi-Nemeskeri system is evaluated in terms of the documented collection and it is seen that their five stage method focuses only on the early and late morphological changes. The intermediate stages, in which the ventral rampart is in process of completion, are not described. Their suggested age ranges do not correspond with the documented modern sample. Based on these limitations of theAcsadi-Nemeskeri method, applications of theSuchey-Brooks system are discussed.read more

TL;DR: A revised method for estimating adult age at death using the auricular surface of the ilium, which has a slightly higher correlation with age than do the Suchey-Brooks pubic symphysis stages.

TL;DR: This review aims at exposing the experience of the authors working in the FASE subsection of IALM (International Academy of Legal Medicine) in the field of age estimation both on the dead and the living, at highlighting advantages and limits of each method, and suggesting practical solutions concerning the age estimation process for adults and subadults, dead and living, and pedopornographic material.

A simple technique for age estimation in adult corpses: the two criteria dental method.
TL;DR: The Lamendin method can be practical interest for any forensic pathologist or dentist as it is fast, easy to use, and reasonably accurate except for cases of individuals under age 40 where other methods must be preferred.

Application of osteology to forensic medicine
TL;DR: Determination of ethnic identity is the least reliable and is hampered by lack of data on many populations, so reliability and accuracy in the forensic context is questioned.

A method for aging the female Os pubis.

TL;DR: It is noted that morphological development of females is different from that of males, and that females are subject to trauma of childbirth which may cause an individual female os pubis to appear older than it actually is.

TL;DR: The traditional Todd system and its modified form are found to be the best systems for aging and when implementation is considered, a modified Todd six-phase system is recommended.
