Abstract

The article focuses on the application of digital Vernier caliper measurements of dental arch dimensions for age and sex identification in adult Egyptians. The study involved 150 adult patients from Ain Shams University Dental Hospital, measuring inter-canine width (ICW), inter-molar width (IMW), and total arch length (TAL) in both maxillary and mandibular arches. Results indicated statistically significant differences between males and females across these measurements, supporting their reliability as forensic parameters for identification. The authors recommend further research to explore variations in dental arch forms among diverse ethnic groups in Egypt and to better understand their role in human facial growth and victim identification.
