Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate feasibility of estimation of stature from mandibular arch length
Materials and methods This prospective study was carried on 85 male cadavers. Stature and mandibular arch length of each corpse was measured. The data were subjected to statistical analysis. The measured statures were regressed against mandibular arch length using linear regression analysis.  Results High correlation was found between stature and mandibular arch length (r = 0.71). The equation estimating stature from mandibular arch length was derived as stature = 91.36 + 6.7911 X mandibular arch length. It is feasible to estimate stature from mandibular arch length.

Key words Stature, height, mandible, identification
