In Germany, a sharp increase in forensic age estimations of living individuals has been observed in recent years. With regard to the relevant age group, radiologic assessment of the mineralization stage of the third molars is of particular importance. Still, the influence of ethnicity on the pace of mineralization has been insufficiently analyzed. A total of 1615 orthopantomograms of 929 female and 686 male Japanese subjects aged between 12 and 30 years was examined. The mineralization stages of third molars were evaluated on the basis of Demirjian's stages modified in accordance with Mincer's model. For the individual mineralization stages, the study presents the means and standard deviations for the genders separately. No statistically significant differences in the chronology of third molar mineralization between maxilla and mandible and between sides were observed. A comparison between genders largely did not render significant differences either. Apart from forensic age determination in living subjects, the presented reference data can also be used for age estimations of unidentified corpses and skeletons.
