In the forensic literature, the issues of diagnostic studies of human dental marks are not considered in sufficient detail. Most of the scientific papers devoted to this topic were published back in the 20th century, and the authors of modern literature sources only duplicate the research results of those years. One of these tasks is to determine a gender of a person by the traces of teeth left by the perpetrator at the scene. Its solution allows you to narrow down the circle of suspects, and, accordingly, will speed up the process of solving the crime. In the conducted study, the relevance of the information contained in the forensic and specialized medical literature was checked for the possibility of their practical application in conducting diagnostic studies on human teeth marks. When studying the possibility of solving the diagnostic problem of setting a gender of a person by tooth marks, measurements of incisors and canines of the upper and lower jaws of patients in dental clinics were carried out. A comparison of the obtained values with the signs described in the literature showed that not all the data obtained as a result of measurements comply with standard forensic recommendations. The results of the conducted research can be useful to practitioners of the expert departments of the internal affairs bodies when conducting a traceological examination of tooth marks.
