Abstract
In forensic odontology, sex determination is one of the key parameters
and is a crucial element in identification of a deceased individual by a forensic
investigator. Canines are considered an excellent tool to distinguish gender. This study
investigated sexual dimorphism using quantities of the inter-canine distance of the
mandibular and maxillary permanent canines in a sample of the Sudanese population
living in Khartoum.
