Sexual Dimorphism in Teeth Dimension and Arch Perimeter of Individuals of Four Ethnic Groups of Northeastern India.

Objectives There is a disparity between males and females when it comes to size and appearance. In forensic and anthropological investigations, it is crucial to identify an unknown individual's gender, and it is possible to discern individual differences based on differences in dental features among populations. For identifying individuals, tooth dimensions are an effective, simple, and low-cost means of determining sex.

Relationship Between the Eruption of Third Molar Teeth and the Growing Status of the Assamese Inhabitants of a North-Eastern State of India.

Objectives Even though permanent teeth eruption time may vary, the tooth eruption stage represents a critical developmental milestone, which may help in the monitoring of the child's growing status towards adolescence. This paper aims to evaluate the relationship between the third molar eruption (TME) and investigate any possible association with the body mass index (BMI), which is used to monitor the growth of children and adolescents. Methods We included 1060 student participants aged 14 to 26 years from selected educational institutions in Assam for this study.
