Canines the ideal teeth identification of sex, due to its sexual dimorphism durability oral cavity. This study tests effectiveness canine tooth predicting sex an individual. Materials Methods: involved 60 males females between age group 20-30 years. Mesio-distal (MD) widths maxillary mandibular right left canines inter-canine distance arches were measured clinically on cast all patients. Standard indices derived from these dimensions tested reliability gender determination by comparison with known population under investigation. Results: All measurements showed significant dimorphism. index (CI) was found be more reliable estimation than MD width CI values. Interpretation Conclusion: Use standard is recommended forensic procedures as it have acceptable accuracy. may used a setup when only single or fragment jaw available analysis, consideration relatively low
