“…Skeleton has always helped in genomic, anthropological, odontological and forensic research of living and non-living individual (1) .As sex identification from bones is essential in forensic studies for establishing identity in cases of disfigured bodies, various morpho-metric principles have been laid down for several bones for sex identification in earlier studies (2) .Skull bones and pelvis have been widely used in Codex : 47/1910 forensic determination. The first step of forensic is to estimate the difference in morpho-metric features to identify an individual, and a lot of studies report that there exist differences in the skull and other bones of male and female, in addition to different age groups (1) .Therefore, sex identification are not easily achievable tasks. So became important to use denser bone e.g.…”

Purpose: To assess maxillary sinuses dimensions and the volume using Cone Beam Computed Tomography .Explore whether these parameters can be used to gender determination. Material and methods: Left and Right maxillary sinus images were obtained for one hundred Egyptian patients divided into three age groups and different parameters (length, width, height, perimeter, Area, and volume) were measured and calculated. Mean value and standard deviation of left and right sides of maxillary sinuses measurements were evaluated and compared. The data was directed to statistical analysis using independent t and (ANOVA) test. Results: Comparison maxillary sinus (MS) dimensions ( length, width, Height, Perimeter, Area and Volume) between male and female with in same age groups. Showed higher mean values in males. However, this difference showed a statistical significance in height only in all three age groups. Conclusion:Maxillary sinus height can be used as a support in forensic medicine for sex identification.

“…The mandible jaw consists of a dense layer of compacted bone which make it more reliable structure for gender estimation. 1,2 In addition to, the mandible contributes to the determination of gender, Wichal Swoope reported in 1974 the mental foramen is stable landmark through life and bone resorption has no effect on the distance of mental foramen to lower border of mandible. 6 Lindh et al and Guler et al, suggested the stability of the mental foramen doesn't depend on the alveolar process resorption above the foramen.…”

Introduction: Gender can be determined by numerous pieces of the skeleton structure. Mental foramen is one of the mandibular components that can demonstrate the gender. Aim of the study: to assess patient’s gender by analysis of mental foramen on panoramic radiograph in Qassim region. Method and material: A retrospective study was performed on 400 panoramic radiographs. 200 males and 200 females were included in this study. Panoramic radiograph machine was used in this study is (Soredex-cranex x- ray machine). Several lines measured in this study related to the mental foramen: 1-The distance from the alveolar crest of the mandible to the superior margin of mental foramen 2-The distance from the superior margin of mental foramen to lower border of the mandible 3-The distance from inferior margin of mental foramen to lower border of mandible. 4-The distance from inferior margin of mental foramen to alveolar crest of the mandible. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was carried out using Statistical Package for Social the Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Chi-square test was applied to find the significant value and P ≤ 0.05 was considered as a significant value. Result: The average mean values in males were higher compared to females. When comparing right and left sides of the same individual, the values were similar in both groups except the distance from inferior margin of mental foramen to lower border of mandible in females left side which was higher than right side. Conclusion: Based on the data collected in this study, an increased value was seen for males on all parameters related to the mental foramen when compared to females. Whereas the mean value of right and left sides of the same individuals were similar related to the two groups. The distance from inferior margin of mental foramen to lower border of the mandible showed a signiﬁcant difference among females in Qassim province, Saudi Arabia.

“…Singal and Sharma (2016) recorded the vertical measurements of mental foramen and correlated them to assess the sensitivity of these parameters in gender determination. [19] Rashid and Ali (2011) examined a total of 300 Iraqi subjects (150 males and 150 females), age ranging between 20 and 49 years old. Linear vertical measurements were performed on the radiographic images related to the vertical position of the mental foramen.…”

Introduction:The mandible is the strongest bone in the human body and persists in a well-preserved state longer than any other bone. One of the mandibular characteristics that can prove very helpful for age and gender determination is mental foramen and mandibular canal. Aim: The present study was aimed to determine and compare the radiographic position of mental foramen and shape of the inferior mandibular canal in males and females. Materials and Methods: One hundred and ninety-six panoramic radiographs were randomly selected for the analysis of mental foramen and inferior alveolar canal. The radiographs were digitalized and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (21). P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The average values of superior border of the mental foramen to the lower border of the mandible (LBM) and inferior border of mental foramen to the LBM were more in males as compared to females. P-value was significant for both the genders and for both the sides. In the present study, the most frequent position of the mental foramen was in the longitudinal axis of the second premolars and was located symmetrically. It was not significant for both males and females. The inter-mental foramen distance showed a mean of 32.15 mm for males and 27.8 mm for females, which was not significant for both males and females. Shapes of the inferior alveolar canal were not significant for both the genders. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, the distances from the mental foramen and inferior border of the mandible and the shape of the mandibular canal exhibit sexual dimorphism.
