Description of intercanine distance of humans and dogs in bite mark analysis

---

Introduction: Bite mark can be caused by humans and animals, commonly dogs. The bite marks produced by them may be distinguished by morphology but movements during the act of biting may distort and render the bite mark indistinguishable. Intercanine distance however is stable in bite marks and can be used to analyze the bite marks. Method: Human bite registration is taken using wax pieces and anterior teeth impressions are taken from dogs which are then casted with dental stone. The intercanine distances are then measured on the samples collected and then described. Results: Intercanine distance of humans and dogs show difference of 1.49 % for maxillary arch and 8.81 % for mandibular arch. Discussion: Intercanine distance of humans and dogs varies yet medium sized dogs (10-25 kg) are similar to overall results of humans. Dogs have similar measurements between both arches while humans show distinct differences between their arches. Intercanine distance should not be used alone in bite mark analysis but always in adjunct with more distinguishable class characteristics. Conclusion: The maxillary intercanine distance of humans is greater than dogs while the mandibular intercanine distance of humans is lesser than dogs.
