چکیده
The dental tissue proportions of human permanent canines are one only a few sexually dimorphic features that present in childhood, and therefore offer the opportunity to estimate sex immature individuals. This work aims evaluate for first time degree sexual dimorphism in three-dimensional (3D) measurements deciduous canine tissues, assess their potential assessment. Computed microtomographic techniques have been employed analyse maxillary mandibular 65 individuals (36 females 29 males) known age. teeth were scanned volumes 3D surface areas enamel cup dentine–pulp complex obtained. Our results did not show statistically significant differences either absolute or relative dimensions dentine between female male teeth. We hence conclude tissues do allow determination, which contrasts with what has observed by other authors. between seem be due decrease intersexual variability the component dimensions. Since is capable responding changes hormone concentration levels, our might indicate hormones play more important role development dentition than previously thought.

متن کاملPatterns of Dental Sexual Dimorphism in Krapina
Sexual dimorphism is an important component of morphological variation and has been associated with a range of socioecological and cultural variables. Comparing patterns of dental sexual dimorphism in two Central European samples, Krapina and Pr fedmostí, may shed light on sexual differences in biocultural adaptation. However, studying sexual dimorphism in ancient populations needs to address m...

The study of teeth is of great interest to anthropologists, biologists, orthodontists and forensic scientists. The existence of sexual dimorphism in permanent teeth is a known phenomenon. Aim of this study was to analyze the presence of sexual dimorphism in the mesiodistal and vestibulolingual diameter of permanent teeth in the sample of Serbian population. Measurements were taken on plaster ca...
متن کاملSexual dimorphism and human enhancement.
Robert Sparrow argues that because of women's longer life expectancy philosophers who advocate the genetic modification of human beings to enhance welfare rather than merely supply therapy are committed to favouring the selection of only female embryos, an implication he deems sufficiently implausible to discredit their position. If Sparrow's argument succeeds, then philosophers who advocate bi...
