Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the age prediction performance when the third molar information is added to permanent teeth in children and subadults from western Indian population. Material & Methods: A sample of 1533 orthopantomograms of Indian males (M) and females (F), in the age range between 2 and 23.99 years were collected retrospectively. The Demirjian staging technique was used on the lower left permanent teeth, and the technique of Gleiser et al modified by Köhler et al. was applied to stage all present third molars. Continuation ratio models were obtained for permanent teeth (PT), third molars (TM), permanent teeth and third molars combined (PT + TM) as predictors and age as the response. Mean error (ME;), Mean absolute error (MAE), Root mean squared error (RMSE), Coverage and width prediction intervals were calculated from the models. Results: When third molar information was added to permanent teeth, the decrease in mean error (ME) was 0.10 years in M and 0.13 years in F. Whereas, the decrease in Mean absolute error (MAE) was 0.36 years (4.4 months) in M and 0.43 years (5.2 months) in F. An overall, decrease in root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.52 years (6.3 months) in males and females both. The highest decrease in RMSE was noted for the age category of 14 to 14.99 years in males (1.41 years) and between 23 to 23.99 years in females (1.67 years) when PT+TM model was compared to PT model. Conclusion: Inclusion of the third molar developmental information to permanent teeth does improve the age prediction performance in Indian children and subadults. Especially in the age groups of 13 to 14.99; 20 to 22.99 and 11 to 16.99; 21 to 23.99 for males and females respectively.
