Review of cases involving forensic odontology and its relevance in world statistics: an original study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Forensic odontology usually involves the cooperation & coordination of law enforcement officials, forensic pathologists, forensic odontologists, forensic anthropologists, serologists, criminalistics, & other specialists. This branch of dentistry helps the law in solving crimes by various methods of dental investigation which includes radiographic investigation, human bite marks analysis, anthropologic examination and during mass disasters. It has helped in solving cold cases and plays a vital role in solving cases in court of law. The present study was done to analyze the importance of forensic odontology in India and its relevance in world statistics. The prevalence of using forensic odontology worldwide is very minimal when compared to forensic medicine. Thus, practitioners must be aware of the importance of forensic dentistry & should also maintain premortem dental record, which is a useful tool & help legal authorities during an identification process
