“…According to Jehan and Kumar 9 , male had higher mean clivus length and width than females and this difference was statistically significant (p <0.0001). In the study of Chaurasia et al 1 , mean clivus width and length was 28.8 ± 3.98 and 42.7 ± 3.98 mm respectively, regardless of age and sex. Statistically, there was no significant difference between sexes (p > 0.05) in clivus width.…”

“…The process of ossification of the clivus starts from the third year and continues until the age of 25 to create basophanoid and basiocciput. 1,10 Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a relatively new technology that is used primarily for many applications in the dentomaxillofacial region. 11 CBCT is used in both pre and post-mortem forensic practices and has previously been used for identification 8 , age prediction 12 , sex estimation 13 , restructuring 14 and bite analysis.…”

“…In physical anthropology, skull is most studied skeletal remain for sex estimation. 1 It is difficult to define anatomical structures prior to many surgical procedures, so morphometric analysis of the skull is routinely performed by clinical anatomists. In addition, anthropologists can distinguish the age, sex, and race of individuals by physical morphology of face and head.…”

The aim of this study is to perform morphometric analysis of the foramen magnum (FM) and clivus using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to evaluate their applicability in age and gender estimation. Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 412 individuals (248 females and 164 males) were included in the study. The sagittal dimension (SD) and transverse dimension (TD) and area of the FM were measured. The width and length of clivus were calculated. The data were statistically analyzed with ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and t-tests to assess the level of significance for sex and age. Result:The mean values of SD, TD, area of FM and width and length of clivus were higher in males than in females. Statistically significant differences were found between sexes for all variables (p<0.05). There was no statistically difference between age and FM dimensions (p>0.05). There was a significant relationship and positive correlation between length of clivus and age groups (p=0.009, r=0.351). Concusion: CBCT provides valuable information about the dimensions of the FM and clivus, and can be used reliably for anthropometric analysis and forensic medicine in the field of sexual dimorphism. The length of clivus can also help in determining age groups.
