AB  - The sternal surface of the 4th rib has been suggested as a useful predictor of age estimation.Morphologic methods are fast and easy to use for purpose of age determination. The sternalends of the ribs are a reliable method of age estimation from younger to old age. Iscan et aldeveloped a phase analysis method for the right 4th rib that was sex and race specific. Thepurpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of the standards of age estimation from theleft 4th in comparison to right fourth rib using the phase analysis for the Indian population.The sample consisted of right and left 4th ribs from 63 female and 101 males. Comparison ofphase variation between right and left fourth ribs indicates that the average of an individual’sphase score in males is not significantly different in either the left or right rib.
