Three-Dimensional Dental Analysis for Sex Estimation in the Italian Population: A Pilot Study Based on a Geometric Morphometric and Artificial Neural Network Approach

Giorgio Oliva, Vilma Pinchi, Ilenia Bianchi, Martina Focardi, Corrado Paganelli, Rinaldo Zotti, Domenico Dalessandri
2021 Healthcare  
Dental dimorphism can be used for discriminating sex in forensic contexts. Geometric morphometric analysis (GMA) allows the evaluation of the shape and size, separately, of uneven 3D objects.  ...  Future research could overcome some limitations by considering a larger sample of subjects and other kinds of teeth and experimenting with the use of computer vision for automatic landmark positioning.  ...  Moreover, the model proposed here allows one to orient the 3D image and to perform a double check of the positions of reference points during digitation.  ...
