[email protected] The aim of this study is to present an interactive computer programme of the London Atlas of tooth development and eruption. The sample was made up of tooth formation and eruption state of all teeth from 72 prenatal and 104 postnatal skeletal remains of known age-at-death and the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Natural History Museum, London, UK. Data were also collected from dental radiographs of living individuals (264 males, 264 females). Median stage for tooth development (after Moorrees et al.1963) and eruption relative to the alveolar bone was recorded and are illustrated. The programme comprises of three sections. 1. Playback mode is an overview of dental development between 28 weeks in-utero and 23 years. 2. Data entry mode is an electronic age estimation calculator with data entry mode.
