“…Several studies have been done to establish dimorphism of canine teeth. [ 8 11 16 17 18 19 20 21 ] It is already established that mandibular canine exhibits the highest dimorphism among all teeth. A study by Kaushal et al .…”

Background:Sexual identification of immature skeletal remains is still a difficult problem to solve in forensic anthropology. In such situations, the odontometric features of the teeth can be of immense help. Teeth, being the hardest and chemically the most stable tissue in the body, are an excellent material in living and nonliving populations for anthropological, genetic, odontologic, and forensic investigations. Using tooth size standards, whenever it is possible to predict the sex, identification is made easier because then only missing persons of one sex need to be considered.Aim:To determine sex from the odontometric data using maxillary canine index and maxillary first molar dimensions and to determine which index gives higher accuracy rate for sex determination using only maxillary cast.Materials and Methods:In a sample size of 200 population (100 male and 100 female), alginate impression was taken of maxillary arch and poured with dental stone. Using Vernier caliper, the dimension of maxillary first molar (buccolingual [BL] and mesiodistal [MD]), canine (MD), and intercanine distance was measured on the cast. The obtained data were analyzed using discriminant statistical analysis.Result and Conclusion:This study concludes that BL dimension of maxillary first molar is a more reliable indicator for gender determination than other molar and canine dimensions in maxilla.

“…According to Staka and Bimbashi [5], it is an established fact that males have larger teeth compared to females. Also Gupta et al [10] reported that a statistically significant difference between the inter-canine width of males and females. However other authors such as Eboh and Etetafia [17] differ in their findings, stating that the ability to determine sex using maxillary canine is poor.…”

“…O dimorfismo sexual trata das diferenças de características de partes do corpo humano existentes para o sexo masculino e feminino. Para realizar este tipo de identificação, pode-se utilizar, por exemplo, medições de dentes específicos [3]. A pelve humana é uma das regiões morfológicas mais complexas do esqueleto humano, que também pode ser utilizada para o dimorfismo sexual do sujeito a ser identificado [4], [5].…”

A identificação do sexo a partir de ossos humanos é uma tarefa complexa e por vezes imprecisa, embora seja uma rotina importante no trabalho de cientistas forenses e legistas. Esta identificação é realizada comumente segundo observação visual e depende da experiência do especialista. O presente trabalho investigou o emprego de diversas técnicas de Aprendizagem de Máquina para identificação do sexo de sujeitos a partir de medidas da pelve humana. Os resultados foram promissores e sugerem que seria viável utilizar esta abordagem para complementar e apoiar a decisão de especialistas.
