Abstract
The mandible is seen as an important tool for radiological identification because of several growth parameters that can be using cephalometric analysis, ease of imaging, and no overlying bony structures. These parameters can be handy in sex esl extreme situations like mass disasters, remains of dead, exhumed and murderous mutilations, missing or severely burnt i etc. The study was conducted on randomized 80 lateral cephalograms obtained from the Department of Oral Medicine and The three linear measurements of mandibular growth were mandibular body length, mandibular length and mandibular heig angle was measured as the angle formed by the ramus line (RL) and mandibular line (ML). The values obtained were s analyzed by Student's t-test using SPSS version 24.0. After obtaining all the measurements, unpaired 't-test' was perfo gonial angle, height of ramus, mandibular length showed statistically significant sex difference. Whereas mandibular bi were statistically non-significant in gender determination. The linear and angular parameters used in the study, when together, might prove to be of importance in studying the growth pattern of mandible in males and females for sex estimatio
