Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The importance of dental identification is on the increase year after year. The concept of using dental evidence in forensic investigation has kindled so much interest in the recent past that forensic odontology is even suggested as the single positive identification method to solve certain forensic cases. The most commonest role of the forensic dentist is to identify the deceased individuals. Dental identifications have always played a key role in natural and manmade disaster situations, and in particular, the mass casualties normally associated with aviation disasters. Under these conditions, the bodies of the victims become mutilated to a level that it cannot be recognized & where the dental surgeons plays an important role in the identification. Because of the lack of a comprehensive fingerprint data, dental identification plays an important role in the world. The aim of this article was to emphasis the changing trend of forensic odontology in upcoming years and its role in day to day clinical diagnosis
