<![CDATA[Introduction: The uniqueness of dental morphology plays an important role in Forensic Odontology,especially for human identifications. Mandibular canines may be considered vital for personal identification.Objective: This study aims to establish the effectiveness of the Mandibular canine index in predicting thesex of an individual in a given population.Materials and Methods: 400 participants (200Male, 200Female) were randomly selected from a givenpopulation between the age group 13 to 30years. Using Digital Vernier calipers, the greatest mesio-distalcrown width of both left and right Mandibular canines and Inter canine arch distance was measured.Results: It show that canine dimensions and inter-canine distance were statistically larger in males comparedto females and were statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusion: Canine dimensions can be considered as an adjunct for sex determination in our population]]>
