Discriminant function analysis for sex determination using landmark coordinate data from three-dimensional mandible models

The Diagnostic Value of 3-dimensional Computerized Tomography (3D-CT) Scan Indicators of Mandible Bone in Sex Determination of Selected Individuals in Tehran

“…( 31 ) In addition, Mandibular length could be used to predict sex in this study. Our finding is consistent with studies performed by İlgüy ( 4 ) and Hwang ( 24 ).…”

“…The mandible bone indicators have been appropriately used to predict sex in various populations by using different methods. ( 4 , 17 , 24 - 35 , 37 )…”

“…Fortunately, our finding is consistent with other studies performed in different populations. ( 4 , 24 - 26 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 34 ). Also, bigonial breadth as the fourth rank in AUC and diagnostic value could be another perfect indicator to predict sex in this study.…”

“…Numerous indicators have been evaluated in radiographic images and CT scans of living people and corpses, including foramen magnum ( 3 , 4 ), scapula ( 5 - 7 ), lumbar vertebrae ( 8 ), hyoid bone ( 9 ), whole skeleton ( 10 ), femur ( 11 ), skull ( 12 - 18 ), maxillary sinus ( 19 ), sternum ( 20 , 21 ), pelvis ( 22 ) temporal bone ( 2 ) and orbital ( 23 ). Several studies in different countries such as South Korea ( 24 ), China ( 25 , 26 ), Brazil ( 27 , 28 ), India ( 17 , 29 ), Japan ( 30 ), Malaysia ( 31 , 32 ), Turkey ( 4 , 33 ), Egypt ( 34 ) and France ( 35 ) have been used mandibular radiography and CT scan indicators of living people and cadaver to determine sex. Several indicators are studied in these studies, such as gonial or mandibular angle, mandibular length, ramus length of mandible, minimum ramus breadth, maximum ramus breadth, bigonial breadth, bicondylar breadth, symphyseal height and so on.…”
