Analyses of odontometric sexual dimorphism and sex assessment accuracy on a large sample

Application of Dental Mor- phological Characteristics for Medical-Legal Identification: Sexual Diagnosis in a Portu- guese Population

“…Dental sexual dimorphism studied by means of odontometric analysis have shown statistically significant differences in the permanent dentition for the canines, especially the mandibular ones [25,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Although the present study has employed a qualitative method, results are in agreement with this evidence.…”

A novel method for sex estimation using 3D computed tomography models of tooth roots: A volumetric analysis

“…This result is in accordance with the study by Tardivo et al (2015) of sexual dimorphism in the total volume of canines. However, Kazzazi and Kranioti (2016) and most previous studies on crown and cervical measurements (Saunders, Chan, Kahlon, Kluge, & FitzGerald, 2007;Angadi, Hemani, Prabhu, & Acharya, 2013;Khamis, Taylor, Malik, & Townsend, 2014;Viciano, D'Anastasio, & Capasso, 2015) have demonstrated a greater sexual dimorphism in the dimensions of mandibular canines. The root volume of the maxillary second molar also provided the highest accuracy rate among molar teeth (90.3%).…”

Odontometric analysis of sexual dimorphism in permanent maxillary and mandibular molars

“…The correct identification of sex from skeletal remains is one of the main challenges in forensic anthropology and osteoarchaeology. Dental sexual dimorphism has long been acknowledged as a reliable biological feature in this respect, and studies have demonstrated that dental dimensions can be used to accurately assess the sex of skeletal remains in different populations [1][2][3][4][5][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. The present study is one of few reference studies for sex estimation using odontometric data in Iranian archaeological populations [7].…”
