Abstract

Introduction: Teeth, being the most stable tissues in the body, can serve as excellent sources in forensic investigations. Tooth size standards based on odontometric investigations can be used for sex determination. The aim of this study was to evaluate the existence of sexual dimorphism in the buccolingual and mesiodistal dimensions of permanent maxillary first molars in a population of Maharashtrian ancestry.

Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 200 subjects (100 males and 100 females) of the Maharashtrian population, in the age group of 18-25 years. The buccopalatal (BP) and mesiodistal (MD) diameters of the maxillary first molars were measured using digital vernier callipers on the study casts.

Results: Unpaired t-tests and paired t-tests were used to analyse the data. There was a statistically significant sexual dimorphism (P < 0.01) in the permanent maxillary first molar dimensions in the Maharashtrian population.

Conclusion: Sexual dimorphism in permanent maxillary first molars may serve as a supplementary tool in sex determination and also provide population-specific baseline data.

期刊介绍： The journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology [ISSN:print-(0973-029X, online-1998-393X)] is a tri-annual journal published on behalf of “The Indian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists” (IAOMP). The publication of JOMFP was started in the year 1993. The journal publishes papers on a wide spectrum of topics associated with the scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, also, ensuring scientific merit and quality. It is a comprehensive reading material for the professionals who want to upgrade their diagnostic skills in Oral Diseases; allows exposure to newer topics and methods of research in the Oral-facial Tissues and Pathology. New features allow an open minded thinking and approach to various pathologies. It also encourages authors to showcase quality work done by them and to compile relevant cases which are diagnostically challenging. The Journal takes pride in maintaining the quality of articles and photomicrographs.
