摘要：Forensic science, also known as criminalistics, is the application of science to criminal and civil laws, mainly on the criminal side during criminal investigations. A condyle is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often it is considered to be a part of a joint in an articulation with another bone. Aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of condylar height of mandible in gender determination using orthopantomograph Materials and method: This study was conducted using digital panoramic images of 20 OPGs each of both genders. The OPG’s collected roughly belong to the age group of 30-40 years. Condylar height was calculated using a computerised software. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS Software. Result:On tabulating and statistically analysing the values obtained from the OPG’s collected, it was found that the condylar height of the females were smaller than the males. On applying an independent t- test for both the genders, the p - value was found to be 0.102, which is statistically insignificant ( p> 0.05). Conclusion: Condylar height was smaller in females when compared to males. Condylar height can be consisdered as an useful aid for sex determination as it is readily available and resistant to any disintegration process.
