Abstract :
The teeth have long played an important, if not the most important, role in physical anthropologic identification of hominoid and prehistoric human skulls. In addition to other causes of death that require identification of victims, forensic odontology has assumed increasing importance. The study sample comprised 400 dental casts, which were divided into two groups: males (50%) and females (50%) aged 18–50 years old. The palatal length, depth and width was higher in males as compared to females. Central incisors and the anterior border of the incisive papilla and the posterior border of the incisive papilla had the difference between both the groups was highly statistically significant (p≤0.001) with respect to only size of incisive papilla. Pear shaped was most common (89.5%) amongst males and irregular type was most common (85%) amongst females. These findings might be potentially relevant to anthropological studies aiming at individual and/or sex identification.
