Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract: Dental, fingerprint and DNA comparisons are probably the most common techniques used in this context, allowing fast and secure identification processes. Sexual dimorphism refers to the differences in size, stature, and appearance between male and female. In many species, teeth exhibit sexual dimorphism. Varying degree of sexual dimorphism in human dentition has been shown in many studies. Hence, tooth size standards based on odontometric investigations can be used in sex determination. 200 subjects, 100 males and 100 females in the age group of 18 – 30 years were selected for this study. The present study was carried out at Ratna dental hospital, Bikaner, India. The mean age for males was 26.14 (±3.08) years and 22.35 (±3.55) years for females. Mean age of males was found to be significantly higher as compared to that of females (p=0.000001). Inter canine distance was found to be significantly higher as compared to that of females (p=0.000001) in both the maxillary and mandibular canines. In present study sexual dimorphism were observed 13.74% in mandibular while it is 15.82% for maxillary arch.
