Title : Identification of the race/Ethnicity by calculating the area of tooth and gonial Angle using 2D imaging and software
Abstract:
Since the beginning of time, forensic odontology has played an important part in identification. The major goal of this study is to assist countries who harbor different nationalities or populations and races from all over the world in their Security systems (particularly those in charge of immigration, borders security, and investigations) in improving their accuracy and shortening the duration of investigations in the identification of the individual by non-Invasive odontological methods thus assist in cases who breach the borders with a false identity, such as of terrorist acts and unclaimed bodies. We've compared the area of the lower first molar tooth keeping into consideration the angle of the mandible by 2D imaging in three different races: Indian (Mongoloids), African (Cognoid), and Pilipino (Austronesian). We have derived the formula of Molar tooth=Area of rectangle /1.468254 and Area of Anterior tooth=Area of rectangle /1.49937. Results of statistical analysis have shown significant differences with p values AREA OF ANTERIOR TOOTH: AFRICAN INDIAN P value .884 {not significant}: AFRICAN PHILIPINES P Value .000 {very significant}: INDIAN PHILIPINES P VALUE 000 {very significant}: AREA OF GONIAL ANGLE: AFRICAN INDIAN P VALUE .044: {very significant}: AFRICAN AND PHILIPINES 0.030 {very significant} INDIAN PHILIPINES 1.000 {not significant} AREA OF MOLAR TOOTH: AFRICAN INDIAN p value 1.000 {not significsnt}: AFRICAN AND PHILIPINES-1.000 {not significant} INDIAN PHILIPINES P VALUE .858 {not significant}.
