THE MORPHOMETRIC STUDY OF PERMANENT MANDIBULAR CANINES FOR GENDER ESTIMATION IN RAJASTHAN POPULATION
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Dentition is useful in gender and age estimation since teeth are resistant to post-mortem destruction, fragmentation and first-rate material for genetic and forensic investigations. Sexual Dimorphism means differences in size, stature and appearance between male and female, which can be applied for dental identification. The present study was performed on 80 patients from NIMS dental college and hospital, Jaipur. Mesiodistal width and intercanine distance were measured on the basis of intraoral examination and plaster modal with the help of Vernier calliper. Mandibular canine Index and sexual dimorphism (in percentage) were calculated from these measured parameters. Mesiodistal width of left mandibular canine shows maximum sexual dimorphism among all measurements. This study signifies the possible role of morphometric study of canine teeth in estimation of gender and it can be used in forensic investigations where gender determination of skeletal remains is difficult.
