The study was conducted to investigate the possibility of predicting the height of an individual using selected odontometric parameters as a forensic tool.
The study sample consisted of 100 subjects (50 male and 50 female). Measurements of intercanine width (IC), interpremolar width (IP), mesiodistal dimension of six permanent maxillary anterior teeth (CW), and arch length (AL, canine to canine) were made directly on the subject. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis and a linear regression formula was obtained against each odontometric parameter.
Highly significant correlation was observed between height and intercanine width, interpremolar width (P < 0.0001), whereas correlation between height and the combined width of six anterior teeth and arch length was found to be not significant. The linear regression equation using formula y = c + mx was obtained for each odontometric parameter and also for combined parameters.
Hence the study concludes that the two odontometric parameters such as intercanine width and interpremolar width can be used successfully to calculate the stature of an individual from fragmentary remains.
本研究旨在探讨使用选定的牙量参数作为法医工具来预测个体身高的可能性。
研究样本包括100名受试者（50名男性和50名女性）。直接在受试者身上测量犬间宽度（IC）、前磨牙间宽度（IP）、上颌六颗恒牙的近远中径（CW）以及牙弓长度（AL，犬牙间）。对收集到的数据进行统计分析，并针对每个牙量参数获得线性回归公式。
观察到身高与犬间宽度、前磨牙间宽度之间存在高度显著的相关性（P < 0.0001），而身高与六颗前牙的联合宽度和牙弓长度之间的相关性不显著。针对每个牙量参数以及联合参数，使用公式y = c + mx获得了线性回归方程。
因此，该研究得出结论，犬间宽度和前磨牙间宽度这两个牙量参数可成功用于从残缺遗骸计算个体的身高。
