Abstract

The need of identity of an individual is of prime importance from WOMB to TOMB. Identification is the determination of individuality of a person. Though it may be a matter of everyday occurrence in every part of the world, a mistaken identity can lead to detrimental outcome and pose many problems to individual, relatives, society and in cases of administering justice when it matters the most. Role of pubic symphyseal changes in assessing age is established by various studies but the effectiveness of the outcome proposed by Todd’s phase analysis is taken as criterion and applied in local population and 100 samples of pubic bones were studied which revealed that the Todd’s phase analysis was very useful and an effective tool in age estimation of an individual for both sexes.
