<![CDATA[Aims and Objectives: To assess the age and sex determination through mandibular basal bone heightMaterials and Methods: The study consists of 120 OPG samples, (60 males and 60 females) in the agegroup of 30 to 70 years, hereby the mandibular basal bone height measured as D1 and D2 on OPG’s usingplanmeca romexis software. The distance measured between the lower border of mental foramen to thelower border of the mandible termed as D1. The distance between the lowest point of mandibular canal tothe lower border of the mandible termed as D2. All these measurements were further subjected to statisticalanalysis like independent t-test, correlation and regression analysis to estimate age and to compare thedifferentiation between males and females.Results: Overall the result shows the moderate level of significance, on multiple comparisons between agegroups and sex among the population, it was observed that statistically significant in male with relationto D1 among 61yrs to 70yrs though other age groups show significant with less confidence interval.Female observations failed to show similar results neither with D1 nor with D2. Regression formula for ageestimation and logistic regression for sex determination have been derived.Conclusions: The present study highlighted that the male gender of the mandible can be determined byusing D1 value as it gives significance, thus it can be used as an additional tool to establish the identity ofa gender]]>
