The estimation of sex from osteological and dental records has long been an interdisciplinary field of dentistry, forensic medicine and anthropology alike, as it concerns all the above mentioned specialties. The aim of this article is to review the current literature regarding methods used for sex estimation based on the skull and the teeth, covering articles published between January 2015 and July 2022. New methods and new approaches to old methods are constantly emerging in this field, therefore resulting in the need to summarize the large amount of data available. Morphometric, morphologic and biochemical analysis were reviewed in living populations, autopsy cases and archaeological records. The cranial and odontological sex estimation methods are highly population-specific and there is a great need for these methods to be applied to and verified on more populations. Except for DNA analysis, which has a prediction accuracy of 100%, there is no other single method that can achieve such accuracy in predicting sex from cranial or odontological records.

Safety and accuracy assessment of static computer assisted localized piezoelectric alveolar decortication: an in vitro study.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the safety and accuracy of static computer-assisted corticotomy surgery (sCACS) versus freehand piezocision through a randomized in vitro approach with 260 corticotomies on 20 models.
- sCACS showed significantly less risk of damaging root surfaces (2.21 times less likely) and performed better in accuracy across multiple measurements compared to freehand techniques, indicating less deviation from digital planning.
- The findings suggest that sCACS is a safer and more precise option for performing corticotomies, emphasizing the importance of using surgical guides in tight spaces to minimize root damage in clinical scenarios.
Tissue Interactions in Dense Tissues of the Orofacial Region in Patients with Connective Tissue Dysplasia.

Biochemistry Research Laboratory, Omsk State Pedagogical University, Omsk, Russia.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the rate and quality of maturation of the mineral component of impacted teeth 38 and 48 and a fragment of the human lower jaw with connective tissue dysplasia (CTD) in different periods of postnatal ontogenesis.
Methods And Material: The study involved 102 males (76 with CTD and 26 without CTD), divided into age groups: 31-40, 41-50 and 51-60 years. For medical reasons, teeth 38 and 48 were removed from each patient, as well as a fragment of the alveolar part of the lower jaw in the projection of teeth 38 and 48 measuring 0.
Canine sexual dimorphism in crown and root dimensions: a cone-beam computed tomographic study.

The primary step in forensic odontological analysis is sex determination. The present study is one of the few studies that evaluated the accuracy of the combination of canine tooth root length and crown measurements for sex determination. The study sample comprised 196 cone-be am computed tomographic scans of individuals aged 20-80 years distributed in five age categories: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+ years old.

Background: Traditional protocols for implant surgery suggest a healing period of 2-3 months from dental extraction to implant placement. Based on all the volumetric modifications produced by that approach, there are authors who advocate for immediate implantology. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of different sockets, and the dimensions of the bone around the upper anterior incisors and canines, to determine the predictability of immediate implants in our population.
