“…Shoveling was noted considerably in Mongoloid groups, including north-eastern Indians, Bunun aborigines, Chinese, and Eskimos. A study carried out by Canger E.M et al, in 2014 and Uthaman C et al, in the year 2015 and Nagraj T et al, in 2015 revealed that shoveling was seen in 10.1%, 40%, and 85% in Turkis, Tibetians, and Western Indian populations respectively [13][14][15] . In the current study, shoveling accounted for 8.3% of the subjects.…”

Aim: The purpose of our study was to investigate and find the association of dental anomalies with the dermatoglyphic pattern within three regional populations of India. Methods: The present study included 600 subjects. 200 from each population were selected randomly and examined for dental anomalies and their dermatoglyphic patterns were recorded. Statistical Analysis Used: The study was analyzed by a chi-square test. Results: One dental anomaly was consistently noted in all three populations. Out of 600 subjects, 40.8% had positional anomalies. Shoveling, congenitally missing teeth, and winging were seen significantly in North-Eastern (23.0%), Jammu & Kashmir (5%), and Western Uttar Pradesh (6%) population groups in order. The most common dermatoglyphic pattern seen in all three populations was an ulnar loop. Significant relation between shoveling and whorl pattern was seen in the North-Eastern population. The presence of rotation was significantly more among subjects with a whorl pattern. Conclusion: The study concluded that dermatoglyphics can be used as an indicator of few dental anomalies. It can help in identifying the gender, race of an unidentified person, and various diseases which are correlated with dental anomalies that can be detected earlier.

Introduction:Dental morphology is a highly heritable characteristic which is stable with time and has a fairly high state of preservation. Nonmetric dental traits have crucial role in ethnic classifications of a population that helps in forensic racial identification purposes.Aims and Objectives:To determine the frequency and variability of possible nonmetric tooth traits using extracted permanent posterior teeth from Kerala population for discerning racial ethnicity.Materials and Methods:This qualitative, cross-sectional study was carried out using 1743 extracted intact permanent posterior teeth collected from different dental clinics situated all over Kerala.Results:The more common features on premolars were multiple lingual cusps (31.21%), distal accessary ridges (16.28%) and Tom's root (17.9%). In upper first molars, Carabelli trait expression was 17.78% and other common features included metaconulo, cusp 5 and enamel extensions.Conclusion:Posterior tooth traits had variable expression in the study population. Low prevalence rate of Carabelli trait in this study is characteristic of Asian population. This research explored new elements of invaluable tooth traits values to understand racial ethnicity of Kerala population.

“Forensic odontology” is concerned with the proper handling, inspection, and assessment of dental evidence as well as the correct analysis and representation of dental findings. An odontologist is regularly called upon to help identify unknown human remains and dental evidence recovered from crime scenes and disasters. Dental profiling is the study of teeth and their surrounding structures with the goal of determining a victim’s identity. One can estimate an individual’s age, gender, and ethnicity using dental profiling. It can also be used to determine dental anthropological features such as personal habits, diet, nutritional deficiencies, oral health, and social class. Dental profiling can be done in a number of ways by either invasive or noninvasive methods. By studying and examining solid samples with complicated surface topography for macro features, stereomicroscopy is one of the ways that might be useful in it. Such a technique could be useful for both invasive and noninvasive dental profiling approaches. Stereomicroscopy refers to a microscopic technique that can be used for stereoscopic viewing or three-dimensional imaging with depth and contrast perception; it is essential for interpreting specimen structure. A stereomicroscope or dissecting microscope is a device used to observe a sample at a low magnification utilizing light reflected off the object’s surface rather than transmitted through it. This paper provides an overview of the stereomicroscope’s usage, applications, and benefits in microscopic forensic dental profiling.
