Odontometric analysis of permanent canines in a brazilian population for the investigation of sexual dimorphism

Abstract: ABSTRACT:Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the potential of permanent canines for sexual dimorphism in a Brazilian population. Methods: The sample consisted of 172 dental casts from females (n=102) and males (n=70) aged between 13 and 49 years old. Each dental cast underwent mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) measurement of the permanent canines using a digital caliper and a bow compass. MD and BL dimensions were compared between sex groups using Student's t-test for independent samples. Re… Show more

“…Os resultados da presente investigação mostraram que as dimensões vestíbulo-linguais de dentição masculina são maiores do que mensurações obtidas no sexo feminino, o que encontra-se em conformidade com os estudos prévios presentes na literatura 18 . Porém, não houve diferença estatisticamente significante na análise de dimorfismo sexual na dimensão vestíbulo-lingual.…”

“…Outro estudo feito na população nepalesa apesar de encontrar dimorfismo na dimensão vestíbulo-lingual relata que não é eficiente se mensurado de forma isolada, mas quando se inclui a dimensão mésio-distal a avaliação se torna precisa 19 . Dessa forma, a dimensão mésio-distal continua sendo a mais adequada 5,18,20,22 .…”
