  Introduction: Sexual dimorphism is an important part of studies in the fields of anthropology and forensic sciences. The mandible is the most dimorphic bone in the skull and is crucial in determining sex. The study correlated and assessed the accuracy of mandibular ramus anthropometric parameters for sex prediction. Materials and Methods: This study included 120 CBCT images (60 males and 60 females, over the age of 18). The scans were taken by I-CAT and exported to on demand 3DTM. Five mandibular ramus linear parameters were assessed bilaterally (minimum ramus breadth, maximum ramus breadth, coronoid height, condylar height and ramus projective height). On 3D volume rendering image parameters were measured using the mouse-driven method. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS (Version 23. The P<0.05 was considered significant). .. Read More»
