Estimation of Stature in Local Beed (Maharashtra) Population: An Odontometric Approach
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
As stated by Federation Dentaire Internationale, “Forensic Odontology” is the branch of dentistry which, in the interest of justice, deals with proper handling & examination of dental evidence & with the proper evaluation & presentation of dental findings. Forensic dentistry is important for human identification, especially when conventional methods cannot be applied, usually due to advanced decomposition, carbonization or fragmentation of the body. However, the method of using teeth has several advantages as it is easy to locate & measure them. Teeth form an excellent material for anthropological, genetic, odontologic & forensic investigations. To investigate the possibility of predicting the height of an individual using selected odontometric parameters as a forensic tool. The study sample consisted of 70 subjects (35 females & 35 males). Measurements of the height, Combined Mesiodistal Width of permanent maxillary anterior teeth (CW), maxillary Intercanine Width (ICW), maxillary Interpremolar Width (IPW) were made directly on the subject. The data collected was subjected to statistical analysis & a linear regression formula was obtained against each odontometric parameter. As there are differences in odontometric features in specific populations, even within the same population in the historical & evolutional context, it is necessary to determine specific population values in order to make identification possible on the basis of dental measurements. Thus the study evaluated all odontometric parameters of the Beed population. The statistical analysis showed that the three odontometric parameters, combined mesiodistal width, intercanine width & interpremolar width were found to show significant correlation with height.
