“…[ 3 4 ] In comparison to traditional fingerprint analysis, teeth as a whole have come up as being more reliable means through which analysis can be done, since they are resistant to most of the harsh weather conditions including higher temperatures, water as well as when decomposition of dead bodies. [ 5 6 7 8 ] For studying a human population, it is imperative to assess the measurements of teeth, which is important in dentistry and anthropology as whole. Apart from bones, teeth have proven more useful to study phylogeny and evolution of mankind, as they are more stable and resistant to various hostile conditions apart from being accessible for easy examination procedures.…”

Aim: In our study, we evaluated the gender dimorphism among dental measurements of selected people in a South Indian district. Methodology: In our research, 500 participants between 17 and 25 years of age were included after taking their maxillary arch impressions. Utilizing Korkhaus compass and digital caliper, depth of palatal area as well as maxillary arch as a whole was done. T-test was done to initiate the comparative analysis between the palatal arch and complete maxillary arch depths where P < 0.05 was denoted significant statistically. Results: It was recorded that complete maxillary arch depth measurements were increased in case of men as compared to women, whereas the measurements related to depth of the palatal arch were not statistically significant. Conclusion: In our research, we found that complete maxillary arch depth can be utilized for gender segregation accompanied with other auxiliary methods. The mean value for both these measurements can be utilized as a standard measurement for advance research.

“…[ 6 7 ] Odontometric characteristics play a major role in stature determination, where jaw, particularly with teeth in it, is the only available small skeletal fragment. [ 8 9 10 ] Teeth are one of the strongest and hardest structures in human body that can resist a variety of antemortem and postmortem insults. [ 7 ] They are an excellent material in living and nonliving populations for forensic investigations as they are the most stable tissue in the human body.…”

Background: Teeth are one of the strongest hard tissues that can resist a variety of antemortem and postmortem insults and an important evidence in the field of medicolegal and forensics. In the identification of unknown human remains of the deceased, stature estimation is a preliminary investigation. Previously, the comparison of osteometry with odontometry in stature determination has been made. Similarly, an attempt is made to estimate stature using intercanine and intermolar width which may be a forensic tool in the future. Aim and Objective: The aim of this study was to determine stature using intercanine and intermolar width in the maxillary and mandibular arches and correlating to identify highly reliable parameter among the two. Further to evaluate the usefulness of odontometry in stature determination. Materials and Methods: Subjects for the study were recruited from the outpatient department of APDCH and students of APDCH. One hundred subjects were included in the study comprising fifty males and fifty females within the age group of 17–28 years as per inclusion criteria. Digital Vernier caliper for measuring intercanine width (cusp tips on either sides) and intermolar width (central fossa of 1 st molar on either sides) on the study models and standard anthropometer for measuring the height of the subject (vertex to the floor). Results: Compared to other parameters, the maxillary intercanine distance is statistically significant to P = 0.05 with correlation value of 0.06 by Pearson correlation method. Conclusion: The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis and was found that out of the four selected odontometric parameters, maxillary intercanine width with a P = of 0.032 and Pearson correlation of 0.307 in Group 1 (males) were found to show a significant correlation with height. Regression analysis was done, and regression equations were derived. The following regression equation can be used to calculate the height of an individual, Group 1 (male) −Y = B+ Ax. Y = 135.5 + 0.947X (X - maxillary inter canine width). This method of stature prediction may be of relative importance but not of absolute certainty, thereby making it an adjunct to various other methods of stature prediction. Therefore, using odontometric parameters in combination improves the predictability of estimating stature rather than a single parameter.
