Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Present study was conducted in 250 medical students of Malwa region in which gender determination was done using Face length (FL) and Maximum Facial Breadth (FB).Among all 250 students included in our study, the mean age for males was 19.5±0.111 years (Mean±SEM) and for females it was 20.1±0.0895years.The mean Face length for males was 12.4±0.0787cm and for females it was 10.6±0.0384cm.The mean Maximum Facial Breadth was 13±0.0649cm for males while it was 12.2±0.0598cm in females.Significant (p<0.0001)statistical difference between males and females for the facial parameters was observed.These results could help the forensic experts to estimate the gender of the deceased by using a part of skull with intact norma frontalis.The Facial length was a better parameter than Facial breadth.
