Abstract
To determine whether odontometric parameters using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) would
aid in sex estimation by assessing sexual dimorphism of odontometric parameters. The focused question was whether there is sexual dimorphism in linear and volumetric
odontometric parameters when assessed using CBCT. The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and metaanalysis
(PRISMA) guidelines were followed to conduct a systematic search until June 2022 in all major databases.
Data were extracted regarding the population, size of the sample, age range, teeth analyzed, linear or volumetric
measurements, accuracy, and conclusion. The quality of included studies was assessed using (Quality Assessment of
Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) tool.
