— Teeth form an excellent material for anthropological, genetic, odontologic and forensic investigations. Amongst all the teeth, the mandibular canines are found to exhibit greatest sexual dimorphism. To define the morphometric criteria for mandibular canines in North Indian population, the present study has been conducted in 60 subjects (M:F::30:30) in the age group of 17-21 years. Intercanine distance & width of both right with left mandibular canines were measured intra orally as well as on the casts of same subjects & the mandibular canine index was calculated. It was seen that a definite statistically significant sexual dimorphism exists in the mandibular canines whether measurements are taken intraorally or on casts. Out of the two canines, the left one exhibits greater sexual dimorphism as compared with the right one. It is also concluded that whenever the width of either canine is >7mm the probability of sex being male is 100%. While if it is <7mm, the sex could be either.
