Implication

Cross-sectional research shows marked sexual dimorphism in mandibular measurements among South Indians, suggesting improved forensic identification methods.

Key Points

Significant differences in mandibular measurements were found between men and women, indicating reliability in sex determination.
The study analyzed panoramic radiographs of 250 individuals, revealing males exhibited higher mean values in all parameters measured.
The methodology included independent t-tests and discriminant function analysis to assess sexual dimorphism effectively.
These findings highlight the importance of population-specific reference models for accurate forensic applications.
