Simple sampling method was used. Based on Demirjian method two dental radiologists calculated the dental maturity score (DMS) by assessing the seven left mandibular teeth and estimated the dental age for each case. The chronologic age of each patient was obtained from demographic data. Finally, the correlation between estimated dental age and chronologic age was determined by Pearson's correlation coefficient and paired t-test using SPSS statistical software (α = 0.05). Result: Mean dental age in all the subjects was estimated 0.11 year less than the chronologic age. Pearson's correlation coefficient between estimated and chronological ages was 0.95, indicating statistical significance (p value < 0.001). In addition, there was no significant difference between estimated and chronological ages (p value = 0.15). Discussion: Based on the results of the present study, Demirjian method is sufficiently accurate to estimate dental age of children in Kerman is and can be used acceptably.
