Dental Age Estimation—Root Pulp Visibility (RPV) Patterns: A Reliable Mandibular Maturity Marker at the 18 Year Threshold

Highlights • The Root Pulp is a Maturity Marker of growth of the Lower Third Molar. • The Root Pulp decreases in visibility with increasing age. • There are four stages namely RPV-A, RPV-B, RPV-C, RPV-D. • Stages RPV-C and RPV-D provide irrefutable evidence of age >18 years.
