Abstract

Objectives: To explore the literature search on cast analysis of deciduous teeth in children for identification of their gender, to describe the validity of cast analysis in gender determination and assess that either a diff erence exists between the deciduous teeth dimensions among girls and boys.

Materials and Methods: Different online databases were used for searching articles in last 12 years, search terms were “gender determination among children using cast analysis”. Only those articles were analyzed for further review which worked on odontometric analysis of deciduous teeth used for gender estimation while we excluded those articles which studied cast analysis on permanent teeth and mixed dentition for gender determination, review articles and case reports.

Results: Three cross sectional studies were included in this research article, based on pediatric population. In all studies deciduous teeth cast analysis was performed. One study showed that maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, molar and mandibular canine exhibit sexual dimorphism. Other study found that primary molars dimensions were signifi cantly diff erent in both  genders. Third study concluded that primary teeth dimensions were greater in male than female.

Conclusion: This study concluded that primary teeth showed sexual dimorphism, so the primary dentition can used in forensic investigation for identifi cation of gender in children.
