Odontometric analysis of permanent canines in gender determination

Abstract

Establishing the gender of a dead person is an important procedure in forensic medicine, especially during mass disasters. Teeth are very important material as they are available even after considerable postmortal changes because they are resistant to chemical and mechanical agents. The results of this study indicate that there are significant differences between the sexes in canine dimorphism. The conducted research suggests using the linear dimensions of permanent maxillary and mandibular canines as an additional method for gender determination in forensic practice because of speed and simplicity.
