“…Our research was in line with study 14 in which students' stature for both sexes was positively correlated with head length from nasion to inion, with a correlation coefficient of 0.507 in males and 0.440 in females and a p<0.001. The results of the current investigation were similar 13 to those of an investigation conducted among medical students from diverse backgrounds, which revealed a substantial positive association between height and both head length and head breadth. According to the results of our research, cranial dimension, or head length, is an independently significant indicator of height.…”

Objective: To determine the relationship between head length, head circumference, and height in females of upper Punjab because cranial measurements are a more accurate and dependable way of estimating stature. Study Design: Descriptive Cross-sectional. Setting: Upper Punjab CMH Kharian Medical College. Period: May 2022 to May 2023. Material & Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional research involved n=382 females in upper Punjab who were between the ages of 20 and 25. A distributing calliper and a non-elastic tape were used to measure the head's length and circumference, respectively. A common height measuring tool was used to measure height. The female's height and head circumference were both measured in centimetres. The collected data were analysed to determine the relationship between head circumference and height as well as head length and height. For the statistical information, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used, and data were analysed. Results: Head length and height were shown to be significantly positively correlated (r=0.518, p<0.001). Height and head circumference were shown to have a substantial positive connection (r=0.344). Conclusion: In the current research, it was found that in females from upper Punjab, there had been a substantial positive association between height and head length, showing that head length is a trustworthy predictor in estimating height. Additionally, there was a significant positive relationship between females' head circumference and height.

“…Another research 11 evaluated adult females' height and head circumference +0.278 and found a substantial positive association between the two. According to a study 12 , head length and height of people show a significant positive correlation (+0.53), while another study 13 found a high positive link (+0.52).…”

“…In another study when height was correlated with the combined MD width of the anterior teeth, using regression model; P value was found to be 0.068. It was found that MD dimension determines the height up to 11% (R 2 = 0.107) and the correlation between these two variables was 0.327 4 .…”

Background: Teeth and skull remains are often some of the evidences available that can be used reliably for identification in medicolegal cases. Determination of Stature and facial proportions from teeth dimensions have not been utilised fully in the field of forensics. This study was designed with the aim to estimate stature as well as facial proportions from teeth and head measurements. Objectives: To correlate height of an individual to combined mesiodistal width (CMDW) of maxillary anterior teeth and head circumference and to correlate the facial height and facial width to the cervicoincisal and mesiodistal dimensions of maxillary central incisor. Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 1000 patients of age group 18–30 years of Kerala origin by birth and domicile who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Study variables included length and width of the face, combined mesiodistal (MD) width of maxillary anterior teeth, mesiodistal and cervicoincisal dimension of maxillary central incisor, circumference of the head and height of the individual. The results were statistically analysed using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Results: Correlation between height and head circumference, height and combined mesiodistal width of maxillary anterior teeth, width of face to mesio-distal width of maxillary central incisor showed significant correlation with p value <0.05, but the correlation coefficients were very weak. But while correlating facial length to cervicoincisal length of maxillary central incisor the values obtained were not statistically significant.

“…They also showed that the permanent mandibular left canine was statistically significant indicator of sex. Hinduja et al 6 studied odontometry and skull anthropometry for stature estimation. Parameters recorded were width of six maxillary anterior teeth, circumference of the skull, and height in males and females.…”

“…Extremely deteriorated, disfigured bodies, and fragmented remains present a great challenge in the process of forensic identification. 4,6,7 Many disasters and mishaps leave bodies that are difficult to identify, such as terrorist attacks, animal attacks in remote forests, war, and aeroplane accidents. 1,4,8 An essential component of the forensic and medical examination is measuring one's height.…”

Background Estimating stature is essential for the purpose of identifying human remains after death. It is common for the extremities or the head to be amputated from the trunk when the body has been severely disfigured. Odontometry's association with stature determination in forensic odontology required an estimate to be established. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate and correlate stature (height) of the individual with the incisoapical length of the tooth Material and Method The study was conducted on 106 participants, in which 53 were female and 53 male cases aged between 21 and 45 years. The study parameters included incisoapical length of maxillary and mandibular central incisor, lateral incisor and canine of both sides measured using cone-beam computed tomography, and height of an individual recorded using stadiometer. Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to study the correlation. Results It is observed that the cervicoapical measurement of teeth does not show statistically significant correlation with the stature of the individual with the exception for tooth 22 (r = − 31, p = 0.02), 41(r = − 0.28, p = 0.04), and 42 (r = − 0.30, p = 0.02) among females and tooth 31 (r = − 0.35, p = 0.009) among males. Conclusion A very small number of research on an individual's stature in relation to incisoapical length has been identified in the literature. The majority of an individual's anterior teeth's height was not significantly correlated with height.
