“…Generally, there was a gradual increased in the means of all investigated measurement with the age (Tables 1 and Fig.1 -3). The current findings agree with the report [38] that the external nose continues to modify and enlarge beyond the attainment of skeletal maturity. This is manifested by the noticed increase in the nasal dimensions in the 26 -33years age groups than that of the 18 -25years age groups ( Table 1).…”

“…Age group (26-33) NL and NB for females significantly dissimilar from the males, because their P-values are < 0.05 while that of NH and ND are not significantly different from each other P > 0.05, nasal index(NI) for female between this age group are found to be Platyrrhine (94.56) and male to be hyperplatyrrhine (109.56). Age group (34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)) the values obtained from NL, NH and NB for females significantly different from the males, because their P-values are < 0.05 while that of ND is not significantly different from each other because their P-values are > 0.05, nasal index (NI) for female and male between ages 34 -41 are found to be both Platyrrhine (91.2) and (97.58) respectively. Age group (42-49) NL, NH and NB for females significantly different from the males P < 0.05 while that of ND is not significantly different P > 0.05.nasal index (NI) of female and male between ages 42 -49 are both Platyrrhine (89.92) and (97.07) respectively.…”

“…Also Genecov et al, [40] concluded that the growth and subsequent nasal projection continued in both males and females after skeletal growth had subsided. The variations in the actual nasal dimensions occurring after skeletal maturity might be explained by the reports stating that modifications of the microscopic structure of facial soft tissues, with alterations of cartilages, muscles, skin elasticity and resilience affect the nasal dimensions, especially those more determined by muscles and cartilages, such as nasal width [38]. The importance of nasal index in anthropological studies has been recognized for a long time.…”

“…Some studies [18][19] was conducted in a Chilean population to assess the nose's shape in relation to sex. In Italy, the dimensions of nose, ear and lips were analyzed in relation to sex and growth changes between childhood and old age [20][21][22] . Some of these external anatomical parameters were different in relation to age and sex.…”

Abstract. Forensic Facial Reconstruction (FFR) refers to any process that aims to recover the morphology of a face at the moment before death, from the observation of a skull. It's a recognition method that allows direct investigations for primary methods of human identification. The literature on this topic is very extensive, however, there are only few national studies, even in Forensic Dentistry. The present study aimed to review and to analyze the Brazilian research publications about FFR. On April 13, a search for references was carried on Bibliografia Brasileira de Odontologia (BBO) and Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) electronic full-text databases with the terms "forensic facial reconstruction", "forensic facial reconstitution" and "forensic facial approximation". A total of 10 national references was found, between 2000 and 2012: 2 articles, 3 dissertations and 5 theses. Most of the references belong to the field of dentistry and the topic that was most studied is facial soft tissue thickness of Brazilian subjects, totaling 30% of the publications. About 50% of the studies have been made since 2010, which shows that the national studies are recent. We conclude that the Brazilian literature on FFR has been growing, but there is still a lack of research. The preparation of theses and dissertations is valuable for the development of Forensic Sciences and Forensic Dentistry.

This study is focused on an innovative approach to the numerical assessment of gluteal tuberosity through 3D visualization and its use as sex discriminant. The study was based on an aggregate of 40 right femora, male and female in equal proportion. The surface of tuberositas glutea femoris is captured in a 3D image, using a Hand-held Laser Scanner (FastSCAN). Afterwards, the assessment contains two ways. Firstly, the result is a 3D shape comprising two tetrahedrons with common base. Therefore, the volume of the roughness is approximately equal to the total of the volumes of these two tetrahedrons (volume). Secondly, several points (markers) are placed on the surface of the roughness of the 3D image. After that we create two-dimensional shape which is a function of the three-dimensional one. The area of the formed shape is measured (area) as well as its greatest elevation (elevation). The results were processed with SPSS 17.0 using Discriminant Function Analysis. If the predictors (volume, area and elevation) are included in the model, the percentage of cases classified correctly is 92.5%. This score coincides with world results based on various anthropometric indices of the femur.
