Reconstructing the Reface, Revealing the Identity
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
It was a great surprise to the 21st Century when it experienced the marvel of the digital world in recreating the face of the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the young Egyptian King whose mummy was discovered from his tomb. Reconstruction of a destroyed human face has always been a guide to understand the antemortem characteristics for the identification of the victim. Forensic Facial Reconstruction is a technique in forensic investigations to rebuild a face onto a skull to recreate the antemortem appearance of the individual. Being a combination of both scientific method and artistic skills, it has enormous significance in Forensic Odontology and Anthropology.
