Gender Determination from Dental Pulp Tissue
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Establishment of a person’s individuality is important for legal as well as humanitarian purpose and gender determination is an essential step in identifying an individual. The identification of a person is required when the body is disfigured or mutilated beyond recognition as a result of barbaric crimes, workplace and motor vehicle accidents, aviation and navy disasters, wars, fire, flood, manmade and natural mass disasters and casualties, and in circumstances where the body is in an unrecognizable, decomposed state.In teeth, DNA is found in the pulp tissue, dentin, cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Teeth are one of the most robust structures of the human body and offer high impedance to the immediate and cumulative effects of adverse environmental conditions.Teeth can survive long after soft and skeletal tissues have been destroyed and since the pulp is enclosed in hard tissue structures, it becomes a reliable means for determination of sex.
