Abstract
Introduction: Sex determination is a crucial tool of forensic odontology and always plays an important role in solving medico-legal cases and in anthropological studies. It can be generally determined by an evaluation of tooth size in males and females. The purpose of this study is to determine the dimorphic status by assessing mesiodistal (MD) and bucco-lingual (BL) diameters of mandibular canine with mandibular first molar by odontometry. Materials and methods: 50 males and 50 females of age 18-25 years were assessed for standard morphometric measurements of the mandibular canine and first molar. With the help of study casts, mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions of mandibular canine and first molar were taken using a digital Vernier calliper. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using descriptive statistics and a t-test to compare MD and BL dimensions in male and female populations. Results: Sexual dimorphism can be predicted by measuring the buccolingual dimension of the mandibular canine and mandibular first molar. Buccolingual dimensions of the right canine showed more sexual dimorphism (11.82%) than the right mandibular first molar (5.85%) and the left canine showed more sexual dimorphism (10.35%) than the left mandibular first molar (5.27%). Conclusion: The level of sexual dimorphism could be well established with the mandibular canine than with the mandibular first molar. The right mandibular canine and its buccolingual dimensions are a helpful forensic tool for ensuing sexual dimorphism.
