Sex determination by using mesiodistal dimensions of anterior teeth in Punjab population

Aim: Sex determination by   Using Mesiodistal Dimensions of Anterior Teethin Punjab population. Methods: This study had a total of 60 study individuals who were chosen at random. The patients ranged in age from 18 to 30 years old, with no history or clinical signs of crown repair, orthodontic therapy, or trauma. They had a full set of erupting teeth. The teeth were noncarious, nonattrited, intact, and peridontally healthy. All of the maxillary teeth were properly positioned. Following informed permission, the mesiodistal dimensions of maxillary front teeth were measured between anatomic contact sites using a vernier calliper held parallel to the occlusal plane. Results: The study's findings revealed that teeth 13 and 23 had sexual dimorphism, but teeth 11, 12, 21, and 22 had no statistically significant sexual dimorphism. The precision with which gender may be determined using 13. It was discovered that 13 (43.33 percent) females and 15 (50 percent) males were accurately categorised. When the degree of accuracy for sex determination was examined using 23 unique males and females, it was discovered that 63.33 percent of females and 63.33 percent of males were accurately categorised.&nbsp
