Studies published between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2025 were screened according to predefined eligibility criteria. Data were extracted using a standardized form, including study characteristics, dental age estimation methods, and reported accuracy outcomes (primarily mean absolute error [MAE] and mean difference\/bias [DA\u2013CA]). Thirty-four original studies were included.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The included studies comprised over 35,000 children and adolescents from multiple countries and were predominantly retrospective and clinic-based. Willems-family methods were the most frequently reported, followed by Demirjian-, Cameriere-, and London Atlas-based approaches. Across studies, accuracy reporting was heterogeneous with respect to MAE, bias metrics, sex stratification, and method variants. Cameriere family methods often showed lower MAE values in many cohorts; however, performance varied by population, age range, and method modification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Panoramic radiograph\u2013based dental age estimation methods show substantial heterogeneity in use and reported accuracy across populations.
