Age estimation using the radiographic method is a simple and non-invasive method that is suitable for age estimation because it can provide information about tooth maturity and morphological changes related to increasing age and is feasible to do in both living and dead persons. The maxillary central incisor teeth are selected for age estimation because it has a single root, large pulp and tends to present in old age. This study aimed to estimate age based on the Kvaal method on the maxillary central incisors using dental radiographs. This is an analytic observational study using 46 samples of dental radiographs of maxillary central incisors. The measurements were based on the Kvaal method, analyzing the pulp/tooth ratio and then substituted to linear regression to obtain the biological age. The difference between chronological age and biological age about 1.76 years. Kvaal method on the maxillary central incisors using dental is reliable for age estimation with the difference between chronological age and biological age about 1.76 years.
