“…an uncontrolled environment; to accurately replicate any of the natural processes that occur during decomposition and be applicable to real forensic science cases. (Cattaneo, 2007;Mann et al, 1990). The effects of animal activity, freezing of the body, hanging of the body, shading, mechanical injury, aqueous environments, and insect activity have all been researched (Adlam and Simmons, 2007;Aturaliya and Lukasewycz, 2005;Campobasso et al, 2007;Haglund, 1997;Leblanc and Strongman, 2002;Mann et al, 1990;Micozzi, 1986;Prieto, 2004;Schoenly et al, 1991;Shalaby et al, 2000;Sharanowski et al, 2008;Shean et al, 1993;Simpson and Strongman, 2002;Tersigni, 2007;Weitzel, 2005).…”

“…The dental analysis permits not only the identification by comparative techniques, but also the reconstruction of the individual's biological profile, making a generic identification possible, from the survey of characteristics such as sex, age, ancestry and stature (Cattaneo, 2007;Prabhu et al, 2013).…”

“…Stature corresponds to the vertical measurement of a living being in upright position, and being an inherent feature, its estimate is considered an important evaluation for the identification of unknown human remains (Krishan & Sharma, 2007;Cattaneo;Pelin et al, 2010). Estimating stature restricts the possibilities in an investigation (Krishan, 2008;Pelin et al) and can even exclude or confirm the identity of an individual (Iscan, 2005), what makes essential its research for anthropological examinations.…”

Odontostomat., 11(2):123-127, 2017.ABSTRACT: The Carrea's index is an alternative to estimate the human stature. However, in cases when the jaw is affected, this technique becomes impracticable. Expanding the use of the Carrea's index, by extending it to the upper elements, would increase the chances of the method, especially in cases when only the skull is available for analysis. The aim of the study was to test a new denominator for Carrea's index, so that it could be used for the upper arch, aiming at a new feature to estimate human stature. Plaster models of the arch and the string of the upper arch of 107 dentistry students, aged between 18 and 30 years, previously submitted to anthropometric analysis, were measured with a digital caliper. The data found were inserted in software developed to find a denominator that would result in a higher number of correct answers to real statures, evaluating the left and the right hemiarch, and their average. For the right hemiarch, the denominator with more accuracy for the real stature was the interval from 2.573 to 2.583, with 58.9 %. For the left hemiarch, the best values were from 2.553 to 2.554 with 63.6 %. The average of hemiarchs had as ideal denominator values between 2.579 and 2.581, with 60.7 %. We found no significant statistical difference between denominators. It was possible to obtain a new denominator to apply Carrea's index for the upper arch. The new method had satisfactory accuracy rate and should be tested in other populations to verify its applicability.

“…[7] Standards for skeletal identification vary between populations, and the standards for one population may not be used for another. [8] There is a paucity of morphometric data of the human tali in South Indian population, and this study will be helpful to surgeons for surgical interventions during the treatment of talar neck fractures caused by trauma, in designing talar body prostheses, and in aligning the bones in the treatment of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) or club foot. It is also useful for forensic anthropologists.…”

Morphometric analyses of human dry tali of South Indian origin

Background: Talus is the key bone of the human body as it carries the whole weight of the body. Since the talus endures a lot of differential forces during locomotion, the stress patterns across the talus influence its overall dimensions. Research in skeletal biology and methodological approaches to the identification of human skeletal remains have advanced significantly in recent years. This study was undertaken because of the scarcity of the morphometric data in adult human dry tali of South Indian origin.
