Abstract

Forensic odontology is an investigative aspect of dentistry that analyzes dental evidence for human identification. Forensic odontology plays an important role in establishing sex, age, and race of victims. Many times, determination of sex / gender using skeletal remains presents a great problem to forensic experts, especially when only fragments of body are recovered. Forensic odontologist can assist other experts to determine sex of the remains by using teeth and skull traits. Various features of teeth, like morphology, crown size, root length etc are, characteristics differentiating male and female sexes. There are also differences in skull pattern and skull traits of two sexes. These help a forensic odontologis to identify the sex of the remains.

Key words: Forensic odontology; Sex determination; Canine dimorphism;, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR); Amelogenin.
