To evaluate the accuracy of various dental parameters used for the gender determination in Nagpur District population.

Context: Gender determination is considered an important step in reconstructing the biological profile of unknown individuals from the forensic context. Assessment of sex differences from human remains will be of immense help as it would narrow down fields of search to 50 %.

Aims: To evaluate the accuracy of various dental parameters used for the gender determination.

Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia Secondary to Meningioma.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder of the fifth cranial nerve that causes episodes of intense, stabbing, electric shock-like pain that lasts from few seconds to few minutes in the areas of the face where the branches of the nerve are distributed. More than one nerve branch can be affected by the disorder. We report an unusual case of trigeminal neuralgia affecting right side of face presenting atypical features of neuralgia and not responding to the usual course of treatment.

Reliability of Third Molar Development for Age Estimation by Radiographic Examination (Demirjian's Method).

Introduction: Dental age estimation methods are of particular value because teeth are highly resistant to mechanical, chemical, or physical impacts and time. Teeth are the strongest parts in the human body and are therefore very resistant to external influences, such as extreme temperatures, explosions, and other extreme conditions, which make them available for extensive postmortem periods.

Aim: To correlate chronological age with dental age using Demirijian's method.
