Abstract
The purpose of this research is to assess the differences of tooth measurements between Bulgarians and Spaniards. The survey included 232 Bulgarians aged 20–40 years. Vestibulo-lingual and mesio-distal dental diameters were obtained by a hand-held laser scanner (FastSCAN Cobra, Polhemus Inc., Colchester VT) and analyzed with SPSS 28.0. We detected significant differences in mesio-distal measurements of upper central incisors, premolars, and molars and mandibular first molars, vestibulo-lingual measurements of upper central incisors, canines and first molars and lower first molars between Bulgarians and Spaniards. Our findings revealed that tooth measurements vary in the populations and thus they can be reliable predictors in forensic identification.
