Abstract
The present study had the objective of evaluating the accuracy of the Ubelaker and Parra method developed in 2008, which is used as an age estimator, in a sample of contemporary adults who lived in the province of Cusco, department of Cusco - Peru; for this purpose, the linear regression equation generated by this study was applied to a sample of 43 dental pieces extracted from skeletons ranging in age between 30 and 73 years, made up of 25 males and 4 females individuals. The application of this method involved the measurement of three dental characteristics that made it possible to obtain the estimated dental age. Once the chronological age at the time of death of the sample of this study was known, the accuracy of this method was evaluated on the margins of error discovered. The mean estimation errors of this method that were obtained in the present investigation, do not show significant differences in individuals who are in an age range of 30 to 49 years, however, ages higher than these, particularly in older individuals, the variation is very noticeable and the differences do reach statistical significance. The total absolute error found in this study was 11.18, so the accuracy of this method is reliable.
