Abstract

Sex estimation using unknown fragmented remains is one of the most important supplementaries in forensic identification. If sex cannot be determined by anatomical structures in forensic cases, it is a benefit to use anthropometric methods as a supplement to estimate sex of the individuals. Forensic odontology is the application of dental principles to legal issues. It is an investigative aspect of dentistry that analyzes dental evidence for human identification.
