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.
