Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Aim: To compare the reliability of Cheilioscopy, Rugoscopy and Dentofacial radiography in gender determination. To study the prevalent rugae pattern and lip print patterns in males and females in college going students in Haryana and to assess the usefulness of mandibular ramus as an aid in gender determination. Material and Methods: A total of 60 subjects, 30 males and 30 females were selected, their ages ranging between 20 - 30 years. All subjects will be healthy individuals free of congenital abnormalities, inflammation, trauma or orthodontic treatment. Lip prints, rugae impressions and a standard OPG was recorded for each patient. Results and Conclusion: Lip prints, though give an indication to the gender of an individual compared with records has been accepted in the court of Law). Most of the thickness of the lips), or Type I' (Vertical grooves not running across the entire thickness of the lips individual, cannot be used as conclusive in Dental Profiling (even though the use of Lip prints, w). The Type lip prints studied by us fell into the Type I (Vertical grooves running across the entire I was more prevalent in Females, while Type I' was more prevalent in Males. However, we need to take into consideration several other factors, such as the difference in thickness of lips between males and females before we can consider this as conclusive. For the rugae pattern, we found that curved pattern were more prevalent in the population studied by us in both males and females. Following this, wavy pattern was more prevalent in females and straight pattern in males. The study of the mandible has offered scope towards providing a reliable parameter in gender identification. 5 variables in the mandible were recorded: Maximum Ramus width, Minimum Ramus width, Condylar Height, Projection height of the ramus, and Coronoid Height. The findings were found to be quantitatively more in males than females. This offers a potential to be used as a potential tool in gender identification.
