Interrelationships and Sex Differences of Dental and Skeletal Measurements

DONALD L. ANDERSON 1 and GORDON W. THOMPSON 1

1 Division of Clinical Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Mandibular canine width and eruption age permit as high a degree of sex discrimination as do skeletal dimensions. Hence, canine width could be useful for sex determinations in forensic dentistry. Canine width and eruption age were not related, but in males both were related to the amount of canine separation. In females the absence of the fifth cusp in mandibular first molars was related to small canine width and to a late cessation of skeletal growth.
