Resumen

La estimación de edad es importante en la antropología forense porque permite la estimación de la edad de individuos, además de desempeñar un papel significante en los trámites judiciales. Los dientes y las medidas del esqueleto humano son estructuras confiables durante los procesos de identificación. La microtomografia computadorizada (micro-CT) es una tecnología 3D no destructiva que permite la visualización y análisis de las características microestructurales de los huesos y dientes. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar por medio de una revisión de literatura la estimación de la edad utilizando el micro-CT. Para ello, se recopilaron artículos publicados los últimos 20 años y disponibles de manera completa en los idiomas portugués, inglés y español. Micro-CT es señalado como una alternativa confiable en la determinación de la edad por medio de medidas en los dientes y esqueletos. La combinación de esta tecnología con otras técnicas proporciona resultados favorables, además de proponer nuevos métodos por medio de análisis cuantitativas en alta resolución.
