Background
The Mandibular Canine Index (MCI) comprises a method of sex estimation by teeth that presents controversial results in the literature.
Main body
This systematic review aims to expose whether MCI can be used as a method of reliable sex estimation. A literature search was performed using the keywords “canine,” “sex,” “gender,” “determination,” “estimation,” “dimorphism,” “assessment,” “forensic” in the databases Pubmed, Scopus, Lilacs, Scielo, and Web of Science. In addition, manual searches were carried out on the reference lists of the selected articles to cover the largest number of articles of interest as possible. Studies that performed the measurements only on maxillary canines, scientific conferences abstract books, case reports and literature reviews were excluded. The assessment of methodological quality and risk of bias was carried out based on a checklist for cross-sectional studies and another for accuracy studies. Thus, 53 articles were selected, 13 of which were accurate and 40 were cross-sectional. All accuracy articles were assessed as low risk. Among cross-sectional articles, seven were considered to be of low risk, 31 of moderate risk, and two of high risk. The accuracy of the sex estimate by MCI was verified and, despite varying among studies, the minimum and maximum values found were, respectively, 20% and 87.5% for women and 40.6% and 94% for men.
Conclusion
The accuracy of the MCI was variable and should be used with caution and as an auxiliary method of sex estimation.
A Perícia Oficial de natureza criminal, representada pelos cargos de Perito Criminal, Perito Médico-Legista e Perito Odontolegista, obteve sua autonomia técnica, científica e funcional com a promulgação da Lei nº 12.030/09. Esse artigo objetivou realizar o levantamento das legislações que normatizam os cargos de Perícia Oficial nas Unidades Federativas (UFs) do Brasil, sua vinculação administrativa, bem como a apuração dos últimos concursos abertos e a quantidade de vagas ofertadas. Para o levantamento dos dados, realizou-se uma pesquisa documental em sítios eletrônicos dos órgãos oficiais de segurança pública de cada Unidade Federativa brasileira. O levantamento dos últimos certames bem como da quantidade de vagas oferecidas deu-se por meio da análise de editais encontrados mediante pesquisa em sítios eletrônicos específicos. Os cargos de Perícia Oficial encontraram-se vinculados a Órgãos de Polícia Civil na maioria das UFs. Além disso, pode-se verificar aumento na quantidade de concursos ofertados após a promulgação da Lei nº 12.030/2009. Conclui-se que os Órgãos de Perícia Oficial mantêm vínculo administrativo com a Polícia Civil na maioria das UFs e, apesar do aumento na oferta de concursos e vagas, determinadas legislações estaduais deixam a desejar quanto à atividade pericial do cirurgião-dentista, sobretudo no que diz respeito à sua atuação no cargo de Perito Odontolegista.
