- •
We explored the possibility of using tooth crown dimensions to estimate stature.
- •
Crown dimensions showed significant albeit low to moderate correlation with stature.
- •
We created regression equations from tooth crown dimensions to estimate stature.
- •
The applicability and reliability of regression equations were assessed.
- •
Tooth crown dimensions cannot estimate stature with accuracy as required in forensic situations.
