Forensic Anthropology and Bioarchaeology Studies Dental Radiography and Imaging Forensic and Genetic Research

Abstract

Teeth form an excellent material for anthropological, genetic, odontologic and forensic investigations. Gender determination of skeletal remains is part of the archaeological, anthropology and many medico-legal examinations. The methods vary and depend on the available bones and their condition. The only method that can give a totally accurate result is the DNA technique, but in many cases for several reasons it cannot be used. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy with which gender can be differentiated by odontometric analyses in a North Indian population. The material consisted of 445 dental casts (233M:212F) in the age group of 17-57 years. Measurements were made on the mesio buccal, distolingual and distobuccal mesiolingual diameters by digital vernier caliper. Mandibular canine (p<0.001) had significant mean differences in all measurements. It also showed high significant dimorphic values for some of the other variables investigated for future study.
