Determining dental sex dimorphism in South Indians using discriminant function analysis

Sex estimation using diagonal diameter measurements of molar teeth in African American populations

“…This is consistent with other research that has shown that discriminant functions are population specific. 14,26,55 The overall accuracy rates of the modern Greek 12 discriminant functions when applied to the African American sample ranged between 53.8% and 63.6%. The African American population specific direct discriminant functions showed overall accuracy rates between 72.6% and 100% for the original data and between 40% and 72.3% for the cross-validated data.…”

Estimation of age at death: examination of variation in cortical bone histology within the human clavicle

“…Thus, clavicles are not loaded mechanically and similarly to teeth [1] and tibial bones, it is possible to estimate changes in the structure of the osseous tissue influenced by diseases and metabolic disorders. Besides, clavicles can be used to evaluate age in juveniles and adults [6].…”

“…Thus the norms established for one population cannot be applied to another one. Therefore, the techniques suggested will be simpler and more precise for sex determination [1].…”

“…Skulls and teeth are often identification material and serve the purpose of analysis and evaluation of dental evidence to identify victims of crimes and accidents. The technique is wildly used in criminology [1].…”

Patrones estructurales en dentición permanente humana como predictores de edad y sexo: análisis de una colección osteológica documentada

“…El concepto de morfología implica dos dimensiones que son tamaño y forma. En el análisis morfológico de las piezas dentarias en función de su variación respecto al sexo priman aquellos análisis focalizados sobre diferencias en el tamaño (Agrawal et al 2012, Alvesalo 1971, Alvesalo et al 1975, Anuthama et al 2011, Boaz y Gupta 2009, Garn et al 1964, Iscan y Sema Kedici 2003, Pettenati-Soubayroux et al 2002, Prabhu y Acharya 2009, Schwart y Dean 2005, Viciano Badal 2012. En los últimos años se han realizado algunos estudios que centran su atención sobre diferencias sexuales en la forma, aunque no son numerosos (Kieser et al 2007, Polychronis et al 2013.…”
