“…Many researches were done to identify the genders using the maxillary and mandibular canines. They depended on the mesio-distal dimension of these teeth (5,6) and in many articles on the intercanine width in addition to the mesio-distal width to get the canine index and standard canine index (2,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) . Other researches studied the bucco-lingual dimension of teeth (18,19) , height of tooth (3) and permanent maxillary first molar (20) as a base for gender identification.…”

Background: This study aimed to determine the gender of a sample of Iraqi adults utilizing the mesio-distal width of maxillary central incisors and canines and to determine the percentage of dimorphism as an aid in forensic dentistry. Materials and methods: The sample included 230 subjects (115 males and 115 females) with an age ranged between 17-25 years and Class I dental and skeletal relations. Study casts were taken for each subject and the mesio-distal crown dimension was measured manually from the contact points for the maxillary central incisors and canines (both sides) using digital vernier caliper gauge. Descriptive statistics were obtained for the measurements for both genders; independent samples t-test was performed to evaluate the gender difference, percentage of dimorphism and stepwise discriminant function statistics were performed to determine the teeth that can be used for gender identification in addition to the percentage of gender identification accuracy. Results and Conclusions: Generally, the mesio-distal dimensions of the maxillary central incisor and canine were larger in males than females with a high significant difference (P ≤ 0.001). Stepwise discriminant function statistics indicated that the right central incisor and canine were the most predominant teeth in gender identification and the accuracy of identification reached up to 69.6%.

“…Sanin and Savara studies reported the differences in the crown size patterns and even Khangura et al found that the mesiodistal width of teeth in males are greater when compared to females in their study. [9] Various teeth were considered in most of the studies, but our study aimed at the sexual dimorphism in mandibular first molars in Iranian population considering the diagonal facial and occlusal measurements. Odontometric parameters can be used in larger and different populations for sex determination as it is simple to perform, reliable material, inexpensive, and easy procedure to measure the parameters.…”

Background: Measurements of diagonal distances of teeth were one of the major tools in assessment of sexual dimorphism in various populations. Various research and studies were aimed at achieving the perfect results in forensic context. Aims: The study was aimed to assess the degree of sexual dimorphism in permanent mandibular molar of Iranians using diagonal diameters. Objectives: To evaluate the applicability of diagonal measurements in sex determination. Materials and Methods:The study sample consisted of 30 Iranians students of age group between 15 to 25 years that included 15 male samples and 15 female samples ie of 1: 1 ratio. Diagonal distances on the occlusal surfaces and diagonal dimensions on the facial surface were considered. Calculations were done using manual Vernier calliper recorded dimensions were larger in males than in females. Results:The mean values and standard deviation of all recorded dimensions were larger in males than in females. Conclusion of Study:The results showed that occlusal and facial diagonal diameters of molars can be used for sex determination as they present a high degree of sexual dimorphism.

“…Surprisingly, in 1920, a formula that estimates physical stature was created from the proportion of the lateral dimensions of the crowns of the lower incisors and canines [23]. Moreover, an analysis of mandibular canine dimensions was thought to show the presence of sex dimorphism [24].…”

This work is a discussion on a report of dental examination and exclusion made by a British dentist Francis Robertus Lloyd on 30th April 1861. The report entitled: 'Dentistry as a mean of Identification' was published in the 'British Journal of Dental Science' under the section 'Miscellanea' in 18631; Mr Lloyd was contacted by the Indian authorities in order to identify a skull and he may well be the first British dentist to officially report a dental examination in an academic journal. The aims of this discussion are to briefly analyze the difficulties of access to scientific techniques in that century and to provide Mr Lloyd recognition of his report in the history of Forensic Dentistry.
