Abstract

An odontometric analysis has been widely used for sex estimation and some statistical standards have been suggested for sex estimation in medico-legal investigations. The present research investigation is to assess the extent of sexual dimorphism in contemporary individuals of the northwestern region of India and further evaluate the comparative analysis of sex estimation accuracy with reported studies all over the world for its potential contribution towards sex estimation in routine forensic casework. Total of 45 reported studies were compared with the contemporary northwest Indian adult population for their potential contribution towards sex estimation. Differences in teeth measurement for sex assessment on permanent teeth varies from one population to another population and thus, criteria cannot be extended to another group of individuals than it was developed. Thus, the results generated from the present study suggest that the odontometric method can be useful and reliable for sex determination, especially when traditional dental identification techniques are not plausible.

对当代印度西北部成年人口的牙测分析报告进行比较评估，以确定其对性别估计的潜在贡献

在医学-法律调查中，牙镜分析被广泛用于性别估计，并提出了一些统计标准来进行性别估计。本研究旨在评估印度西北地区当代个体的性别二态性程度，并进一步评估性别估计准确性与世界各地报告的研究的比较分析，以评估其对常规法医案件中性别估计的潜在贡献。总共有45份研究报告与当代印度西北部的成年人口进行了比较，以了解他们对性别估计的潜在贡献。恒齿性别评估的牙齿测量差异因人群而异，因此，标准不能扩展到其他人群。因此，本研究的结果表明，牙齿测量方法对于性别确定是有用和可靠的，特别是当传统的牙齿识别技术不可信的时候。
