Keywords:
sexual dimorphism, forensic dentistry, victim identification, Mesiodistal width, Intercanine widthAbstract
Introduction: The gender is very important part of identification. Gender identification is very crucial for personal identification of an individual, because the age and stature determination is dependent on the gender of the individual. For gender identification we can use much other bone like mandible, skull and maxilla, gender identification can also done from tooth like canine most commonly we can use mandibular canine for gender identification. Aim and objective: Total 200 subjects were taken for the study purpose in which 100 are male and rest 100 are females in the department of RKDF medical collage & RKDF dental college Bhopal The complete procedure was explained to the subjects and there written consent was taken from the subjects. The age group of the subjects was vary form 20- 40 years. Results: In our study we found that the mean mesiodistal width of right mandibular canine was 6.98 mm in male and in female it was 6.66. the mean mesiodistal width of left mandibular canine was 7.21 mm in male and in female it was 6.76 mm the Inter?arch canine width of male is 27.19 mm and in female subjects is 26.22 mm.
