Abstract:

Background: Dental professionals assist with legal and criminal matters through the practice of forensic dentistry which has evolved over the past century and is now a crucial component of undergraduate dental education in many nations. The need for formal training in the subject and its inclusion in dental curricula were acknowledged and addressed in the 1960s and 1970s. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the teaching of forensic dentistry in dental universities of Khartoum, Sudan, and to propose certain topics and teaching criteria to be standardized in forensic dentistry teaching in Sudan. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive study was conducted, involving all undergraduate dental institutions in Khartoum, Sudan. Institutional websites were searched using the Google search engine to obtain the dental program curricula in English. The curricula were then analyzed to identify the presence of forensic odontology/dentistry teaching. Results: Of the 19 universities included in the study, five (26.3%) teach forensic dentistry in their undergraduate curricula, whereas 12 (63.1%) do not. Two universities (10.6%) indicated the presence of forensic dentistry teaching in their curricula but did not provide actual instruction. The teaching of forensic dentistry mainly occurred during the second, third, and fourth years of the dental program. Three universities considered it an independent subject, while two universities incorporated it into oral and maxillofacial pathology. Four universities provided lectures only, while one university combined lectures and practical sessions. Qualified forensic dentists taught the subject in four universities, while one university had general dentists as instructors. The main topics delivered are: (1) introduction to forensics, (2) human identification, (3) dental age estimation, (4) interpretation of bitemarks, (5) DNA in forensics, and (6) child abuse. Conclusion: Forensic dentistry training is currently undervalued in Sudan due to various limitations. It is recommended that all dental schools in Sudan offer opportunities for students to learn and become acquainted with forensic dentistry as part of their dental programs. The Sudanese Dental Council should establish formal coordination with academic institutions and experienced forensic dentists to ensure the quality and relevance of the proposed modular course within the educational system. Finally, additional topics including dental record-keeping and dental malpractice are suggested for inclusion in the current modules.

Abstract:

A odontologia legal é uma especialidade imprescindível para soluções de casos jurídicos por negligência ou imprudência no ramo da odontologia, em processos éticos e pode estar relacionada a atuação da busca pela identidade biológica, como identificação de corpos não identificados com auxílio de documentos odontológicos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi conhecer, através de revisão da literatura, a atuação do cirurgião-dentista especialista em Odontologia Legal dentro de sua capacidade na identificação humana e utilização da documentação odontológica, bem como negligência na publicidade e exposição inadequada de paciente. Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura artigos científicos dos últimos 10 anos. Sobre a odontologia legal e documentação odontológica, foi observado que a atuação do dentista elevou os conhecimentos específicos da equipe, melhorando o desdobramento dos casos, e toda documentação de origem odontológica foi muito importante para chegar a conclusões e definições de laudos periciais, possibilitando que a corpos não identificados fosse dado, então, sua real identidade e processos jurídicos fossem esclarecidos. Conclui-se que a atuação da odontologia legal dá um acréscimo bastante expressivo nos resultados dos quais participam, e toda equipe de forense deveria contar com um dentista para alavancar seus conhecimentos e dar mais resultados na busca pela verdade e identidade de cadáver. THE IMPORTANCE OF FORENSIC ODONTOLOGISTS AND DENTAL RECORDS TO FORENSIC AND LEGAL RESOLUTIONS ABSTRACT Forensic Dentistry is an important dental science to legal investigations of negligence or recklessness cases in ethical processes and can be related to the search for biological identity, such as identification of unidentified bodies with the aid of dental records. This paper aimed to understand, through literature review, the performance of dental surgeons in Forensic Dentistry in terms of her/his capacity for human identification and use of dental records, as well as negligence in the publicity and inadequate exposition of the patient. It is a literature review of scientific papers from the last 10 years. It was used the database LILACS SciELO, by means of the descriptors “Forensic Dentistry; Forensic Anthropology; Legal liability”. Concerning Forensic Dentistry and dental records, it was observed that the dentist’s performance increased the dental team’s specific knowledge, improving the development of cases and all documentation of odontological origin was important to achieve conclusions and definitions of legal reporting, making possible that unidentified bodies have their real identity and legal processes would be resolved. It is concluded that forensic dentistry gives an improvement in the results of the cases that they enroll, and all the forensic team should have one forensic dentist to raise their knowledge and give more results in the search for the truth and body identity.

Abstract:

The dentist who lacks exposure in handling and solving real-life forensic odontology cases but speaks on the subject as an expert in the field is an ‘Armchair Forensic Odontologist’. Such dentists may have relatively good theoretical knowledge of forensic dentistry but lack real-world case exposure. Since such dentists have not actually handled a single police case, it precludes them from being a specialist in the field. Consequently, they can severely undermine case analysis and training in forensic odontology. To mitigate the problem, the Dental KM minimum requirements for institutions organising courses in forensic odontology. Institutions imparting programmes in forensic dentistry must also ensure they have a tie up with law enforcement for a steady flow of cases and employ only certified and experienced specialists and trainers. Prospective students must be vigilant and do appropriate homework on what the better institutions are, and who the experienced forensic odontologists are to study under

Abstract:

Forensic dentistry dates back more than 200 years. Yet Oscar Amoedo, a Cuban-born dentist, is considered the father of forensic dentistry. He emphasized the dentists’ role in humans’ identification and laid down the general principles of dental identification in his dissertation in 1989. Dental experts must have interdisciplinary knowledge to do his or her job. From the teeth development through the type of materials of various restorations and the appearance of specific diseases, he/she has to consider the entire oral cavity. As it happens today, for the last 60-70 years too, the victim’s dentist testified the positive match by the dental identification. Nowadays, there are available plaster models, paper or digital based patient records, x-rays to support forensic dentistry. In the future, digital technology will make identification even faster and more accurate, and based on the patients’ 3D digital models, CBCT images, or palate samples, artificial intelligence (AI) guided computers will be making identifications even without any human assistance.

Abstract:

Background: A dentist is responsible for promoting oral health and disease prevention to make the world a better place in terms of oral health. Besides, the dentist also plays an important role in the forensic field and law enforcement. Forensic odontology is an area of dentistry that deals with the proper management and investigation of dental evidence, which aids in identifying people and the presentation of dental evidence in the interest of justice. Purpose: This article discussed the role and responsibilities of dentists in human identification. Review: The world continues to deteriorate as time passes with much criminality and disasters that cannot be prevented. In many cases, the identification process can be done through the unique characteristics of dentition. Various information such as age, sex, and ethnicity are recorded in the tooth. Forensic dentists are responsible to manage and evaluate tooth evidence. Conclusion: Forensic odontology plays an essential role in determining individual identity. The unique features of dentition provide accurate results in identification if all procedures are correctly employed. With the advancement of science and technology, dentistry may now assist in the identification and investigation of forensic cases.

Abstract Background: Forensic dentistry is a branch of forensic science that deals with the examination, analysis, and interpretation of dental evidence in legal investigations. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, practice, and attitudes of Iraqi dentists toward forensic dentistry. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was designed with four sections and distributed to dentists. The four sections were demographic, knowledge (assessed the dentists’ knowledge and consisted of 14 questions), practice (evaluated the dentists’ practices and consisted of six questions), and attitude (consisted of two questions to assess the dentists’ attitudes). For the knowledge, practice, and attitude sections, the answers were either “yes” (correct), “no,” or “I don’t know” (incorrect). The correct answer frequencies were calculated, and the mean scores of responses were compared among the different variables. Results: A total of 414 dentists responded, including 196 male dentists and 218 female dentists. The mean age of the responders was 32.57 years, and the responders were divided according to age into: 304 (≤40 years), and 110 dentists (˃40 years), according to qualifications into: 168 (postgraduate) and 246 (graduate), and according to experience years: 228 (≤10 years) and 186 (˃10 years). The questions related to using teeth as indicators of age received the highest number of correct answers, whereas the use of palatal rugae and lips in forensic dentistry received the lowest scores. Conclusion: Iraq dentists had limited knowledge, practice, and attitude about forensic dentistry. Therefore, it is important for undergraduate and postgraduate programs, as well as official training courses, to focus more attention on forensic dentistry.

Abstract:

Abstract: Human identification continues to pose a significant challenge, with thousands of individuals or corpses remaining unidentified each year, as reported by the National Missing and Unidentified Person System (NamUs). Forensic odontology becomes exceptionally crucial when visual/facial identification and fingerprinting fail, such as in disasters or decomposed remains. By leveraging the expertise of dentists, forensic odontology makes a valuable contribution to the legal system. High-quality dental records are paramount for human identification. Forensic dentistry provides scientific data for legal proceedings. The robust structure of teeth and resilient restorative materials are pivotal in the identification process. Prosthodontics, especially for denture wearers, plays a significant role, with equipment like denture labeling gaining popularity. Specialization in prosthodontics is vital for understanding dental materials, labeling techniques, palatal rugae patterns, bite marks, and lip prints. Application of effective methods in forensic odontology is of paramount importance in identifying individuals. Remarkably, prosthetics in the field of forensic dentistry remains relatively unexplored and often overlooked, even in Indonesia, despite its significant potential in the realm of forensics. In conclusion, forensic identification using prosthodontic tools such as labeling or marking on dentures can provide crucial identification clues. Dental marking techniques namely surface modification techniques and inclusion techniques, have their respective advantages and disadvantages.

Odontologi forensik menjadi sangat penting ketika identifikasi visual/wajah dan sidik jari gagal, seperti pada bencana atau jenazah yang terurai. Dengan memanfaatkan keahlian dokter gigi, odontologi forensik memberikan kontribusi pada sistem hukum. Catatan gigi berkualitas tinggi sangat penting untuk identifikasi manusia. Odontologi forensik menyediakan data ilmiah untuk proses hukum. Struktur gigi yang kuat dan bahan restoratif yang tahan terhadap kerusakan menjadi kunci dalam identifikasi. Prostodonti, khususnya bagi pemakai gigi palsu, memainkan peran yang signifikan, dengan peralatan seperti label gigi palsu semakin populer. Spesialisasi dalam bidang prostodontik sangat penting dalam memahami bahan gigi, teknik penandaan, pola rugae palatal, bekas gigitan, dan bekas bibir. Menerapkan metode-metode yang efektif dalam odontologi forensik sangat penting untuk mengidentifikasi individu. Secara mencolok, prostetik dalam ranah odontologi forensik tetap relatif belum tersentuh, sering kali terabaikan di Indonesia meskipun memiliki potensi signifikan dalam dunia forensik. Simpulan studi ini ialah identifikasi forensik dengan menggunakan peralatan prostodontik seperti pelabelan atau pemberian tanda pada gigi tiruan dapat memberikan petunjuk identifikasi penting. Teknik penandaan gigi yaitu surface modification technique dan inclusion technique dengan keunggulan dan kekurangan masing-masing.

Abstract:

Forensic dentistry, a branch of the forensic sciences, plays an important role within postmortem human identification, especially in cases of corpses that are charred, skeletonized or in an advanced state of decomposition. Identification of human remains via dental knowledge is done using a comparative technique, which is simple, inexpensive and reliable, the aim of which is to compare dental records and information recorded by dentists in clinical appointments made before an individual's death, with postmortem dental records obtained via forensic examination. In this context, the present study aims to demonstrate the importance of dental records and the effectiveness of forensic dentistry in human identification, illustrated by the report of a case that was conducted at the São Luis Coroner's Office in the Brazilian state of Maranhão. It may be concluded that dental records maintained by a dentist, when complete, properly structured and correctly archived, retain important personal information and are fundamental tools in the process of human identification.

Abstract:

Dental evidence in forensic investigation has been in practice for many years. Forensic dentistry or forensic odontology predominantly involves the identification of human remains, by comparing the dental evidence of deceased persons recovered from the scene of an accident or a crime (post-mortem dental data) with the ante-mortem dental records. The use of dental identification lies in the fact that no two oral cavities are alike, and the teeth are unique for everyone. In addition, dental structures are not only the hardest and most protected structures in the body, but are also the most resistant to degradation due to environmental impact. Identification of a deceased individual using forensic odontology is possible with a higher degree certainty, as it is possible to apply multiple tools such as dental imaging, tongue print, lip print, rugoscopy, tooth signature, ameloglyphics, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis, bite-marks, dentures and prosthesis, facial reconstruction, virtopsy and software applications. Since the role of a forensic dentist extends even beyond identification, especially in the absence of ante-mortem dental records for comparison, teeth become a determinant factor in identification, and determination of age, gender and ethnicity. Although several methods and techniques of identification have been described in forensic dentistry, there is no comprehensive resource that describes them all in detail. Therefore, this review paper aims to analyze and discuss the available methods of identification in forensic dentistry, their merits and limitations, and how they might be of help to the forensic dentists and pathologists.

Abstract:

Background: In the present era, forensic odontology has expanded as one of the most remarkable and commendable branches of Forensic Sciences. Through forensic odontology, a dentist plays a very important role in crime investigation of any type. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the knowledge, percipience and practical perception of forensic odontology among the dental practitioners in and around Kanpur city.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from Jan-Mar 2019 among 207 dental practitioners in and around Kanpur city including 143 BDS and 64 MDS through a questionnaire proforma. The proforma consisted of 20 questions prepared on the topic of forensic Odontology and role of dentist in the field of forensic Odontology.Results: In this study, nearly 70% of dental practitioners were aware of the role of dentist in forensics, and around 60% of dental practitioners maintain dental records with recording of personal data and clinical findings being the most frequently used method. In the present study most of the dental practitioners were not aware of significance of chelioscopy (63%) and rugoscopy (66%) in field of forensic Odontology. Nearly 70% of dentist accepted the fact that their level of knowledge regarding forensic dentistry is inadequate and nearly 40% of them were not confident in giving any opinion regarding the same.Conclusions: This study shows that although there is an adequate awareness of role of dentist in forensic Odontology, but there is lack of good knowledge, confidence and practical approach of the dental practitioners towards forensic Odontology which may be due to lack of training, experience, exposure in field of forensics. Thus, the need of the hour lies in updating the knowledge and also developing interest of the dental practitioners regarding forensic Odontology.

Abstract:

The ability of machines to carry out tasks that typically involve human intelligence is known as artificial intelligence (AI). It is a development in computer science that solves a number of intricate problems that are currently plaguing society. These models have shown to be a breakthrough in terms of delivering trustworthy information for decision making, and their main benefit is that they offer logic for clinical decision making. Consequently, AI may play a big part in forensic dentistry (FO). In order to serve the welfares of justice, FO entails the examination, assessment, administration, and presentation of dental evidence in criminal or civil cases. It is an essential component of forensic science that is key to the identification of people, whether they are living or dead. In terms of gathering, evaluating, and reporting evidence, digital forensics has successfully and consistently supplanted traditional forensic investigations. Therefore, learning and understanding in this area are necessary.

Abstract:

Background: Forensic dentistry identification commonly involves using dental cast models as ante-mortem data. Here, dentists generally send the pictures as well as the dental records. However, in recent times, dentists – especially orthodontists and prosthodontists – are using 3D scanners in view of reducing the space for cast model storage as well as sending the 3D imaging for fabricating clear aligners and other items such as crowns and bridges. This new trend means data transmission and viewing has become more complicated since sophisticated laptops or personal computers are generally required. For more practical use, smartphones would be a better option, meaning various simple ideas for viewing 3D data must be explored. Furthermore, the conclusions must be evaluated in terms of the validity for forensic dentistry use. Purpose: To evaluate a number of smartphone applications that are simple, user friendly, scalable and capable of the measurement and superimposition of 3D imaging data. Review: Standard tessellation language (STL) is one of the 3D scan file formats that is also useful for 3D printing. Recently, several applications for 3D viewing have been made available for iPhones (iOS) and Android-based devices, which are able to view STL files. However, they have all received both positive and negative reviews in terms of various applications, including forensic dentistry, and they thus require further evaluation by forensic odontologists. Conclusion: Each application has advantages and disadvantages; however, in our experience as forensic odontologists, the CAD Assistant, exocad and Adobe Photoshop Mix, which are available for iOS and Android devices, are preferable for forensic dentistry needs

Abstract:

Forensic odontology is the application of dentistry within the criminal justice system. Forensic expertise, including dental identification, mostly relies on dental records. We explored the practice of maintaining dental records among Croatian dentists, as well as their knowledge of legal regulations and the application of dental records in forensic odontology. In all, 145 dentists participated in an online survey. Questions covered general information on dentists, maintenance of dental records, and knowledge of legal requirements and forensic odontology. Overall, 70% of dentists obtain and archive written informed consents, while 87% record dental status. Generally, non-carious dental lesions and developmental dental anomalies were not recorded. About 72% of dentists record filling material and surfaces. Only 32% of dentists know the legal requirements for keeping records, whereas 21% have no knowledge of forensic odontology and its purpose. The survey revealed different practices in the maintenance of dental records, including significant flaws and lack of awareness of its forensic importance. This obvious need for additional education on proper maintenance of dental records could be met by including forensic odontology in compulsory undergraduate courses and postgraduate dental education. Establishing national and international standards in dental charting would comply with contemporary trends in health care and the requirements of forensic expertise.

Abstract:

Comparative dental analysis is the main role of a UK forensic dentist. It is undertaken to determine whether postmortem findings are in agreement with the provided antemortem data for an individual, in order to achieve a positive identification. It requires dentists to maintain accurate dental records and, when a confirmatory identification is required, to breach their confidentiality obligations to their patients. Several different dental records can prove helpful during the process, which are outlined in a novel checklist designed to guide both practitioners and law enforcement officers. It is supported by the UK Missing Persons Unit and the British Association of Forensic Odontology (BAFO) and is available to download in a PDF format from dentalidrecordchecklist.com. CPD/Clinical Relevance: All dental practitioners should be aware of forensic dentistry as a specialism and how they may be required to help during a human identification. Understanding the principles of comparative dental analysis should be attained, thus recognizing the importance of releasing dental records, preventing delays and uncertainty around breaching confidentiality obligations.

Abstract:

Objective: Age estimation is an important element in the forensic investigation, being one of the data primary sources to establish the identity of living people or unknown mortal remains. The methods used for this purpose are those based on individuals’ bones and teeth development. Since dental radiographs assume major role in the forensic context, this article aims to show, by means of literature review, the importance of dental radiographs as an aid in human identification process, particularly in the age estimation.Conclusion: The forensic dental examination contributes significantly to human identification, no matter if it is a living, in advanced decay, skeletonized or charred body. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness among dental professionals about the need to properly record and archive the information and data obtained during the daily clinical routine, since the greatest support for identification in forensic dentistry, mainly the individual’s age estimation, comes from clinical documentation produced daily by clinicians, especially dental radiographs.

Abstract:

A dentist's role often involves screening, diagnosing, preventing, and treating a variety of oral diseases. However, it is equally important in both the medical and the judicial field through the identification of unidentified deceased individuals. For this reason, the science of Forensic Dentistry has been developed, the contribution of which is valuable, especially in cases of criminal acts or mass disasters, where the number of victims is high. Its work is characterized as demanding, in which case the immediate and effective action of specially trained and experienced professionals is necessary. The methods of identification used work with outline the collection, careful examination, radiographic and photographic imaging and recording of post-mortem evidence of teeth and their impressions on the skin alongside the jaws, the lips and the palatal rugae of mucosa in order to be compared with existing ante-mortem and to draw conclusions regarding the racial and age identification of the deceased as well as finding other useful information about him/her. The forensic dentist's contribution to the administration of justice is essential through keeping detailed records of patients and excellent cooperation with local authorities towards a valid and reliable identification process.

Abstract:

Forensic Odontology is a branch of forensic science involves in human identification through dental tissues or more specifically teeth when there is the destruction of body tissues in criminal mass disasters. The importance of Forensic Dentistry in recent days lies mainly when there is little remaining material to perform such identification has led dentists working with forensic investigators to become more aware with the new molecular biology technologies. In the last few years, DNA analysis methods are more commonly applied in the forensic cases due to its uniqueness in identification of human remains even in the deceased state. DNA is a genetic material which is unique to each individual. In oral cavity and mainly in tooth structure DNA is found to be in abundant and hence it can be an excellent source of genomic DNA. Recently, DNA profiling has high reliability and is accepted as legal proofs in courts. This article mainly focuses on an overview of DNA and their applications in the last few years, highlighting its importance in forensic investigation.

Abstract:

In order to ensure justice, forensic odontology is a subfield of forensic science that deals with the right gathering, handling, meticulous investigation, suitable interpretation, and preservation of dental evidence for future use. There have been substantial changes made to the data collecting, interpretation, and other procedures used in the field of forensic odontology. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the conceptualizations that are currently employed in forensic odontology as well as emerging developments in traditional approaches. Future prospects for the study of forensic odontology appear bright due to a number of rising trends in the discipline. Since the majority of the instruments rely on the records that dentists keep, it is imperative that dentists stay up to date on the latest developments in forensic odontology. In cases of bite mark analysis, age determination, child abuse, and identification fixing in mass disasters, the forensic odontologist applies his or her dental expertise. As a result, in a number of medicolegal cases in recent years, forensic odontologists have had more duty and obligation.

Abstract:

The heavy casualties associated with mass disasters necessitate substantial resources to be managed. The unexpectedly violent nature of such occurrences usually remains a problematic amount of victims that urgently require to be identified by a reliable and economical method. Conventional identification methods are inefficient in many cases such as plane crashes and fire accidents that have damaged the macrobiometric features such as fingerprints or faces. An appropriate recognition method for such cases should use features more resistant to destruction. Forensic dentistry provides the most appropriate available method for the successful identification of victims using careful techniques and precise data interpretation. Since bones and teeth are the most persistent parts of the demolished bodies in sudden mass disasters, scanning and radiographs are unrepeatable parts of forensic dentistry. Forensic dentistry as a scientific method of human remain identification has been considerably referred to be efficient in disasters. Forensic dentistry can be used for either “sex and age estimation,” “Medical biotechnology techniques,” or “identification with dental records,” etc. The present review is aimed at discussing the development and implementation of forensic dentistry methods for human identification. For this object, the literature from the last decade has been searched for the innovations in forensic dentistry for human identification based on the PubMed database.

Abstract:

Forensic dentistry is the handling, examination and evaluation of dental evidence in criminal justice cases. Palatoscopy or rugoscopy is gaining importance in forensic dentistry due to many reasons, the most important being that the rugae are well protected in the oral cavity by the cheeks and arches. Rugae are found to be individualistic just like dermatoglyphics. The third most important factor being that they are easy to record. This article deals with the various classification, methods of recording and the clinical implication of rugoscopy in forensic dentistry.

Abstract:

Aim: To investigate and analyze legal conflicts in forensic dentistry of Ukraine. Materials and Methods: A comparative research method for determining the common and distinctive features of the legal regulation of forensic dental expertise as a subcluster in the legislation of Ukraine. The descriptive (monographic) method reveals the problematic aspects of forensic dental examination through the lens of local normative and general normative connotations. The structural-functional research method made it possible to systematize the peculiarities of forensic medical and forensic dental expert activity. Conclusions: The analysis of legal conflicts made it possible to come to the following conclusions, that in Ukraine today there is no specific legal act that would regulate the aspects of performing dental activities. Forensic dental examination in Ukraine, in accordance with the legislation, is an examination of the actions and inactions of the dentist. The adoption of normative legal acts in the field of dental activity and forensic dental examination in Ukraine would make it possible to determine the specifics of establishing facts and circumstances that indicate a violation of the patient’s rights.

Abstract:

Teeth can be put to a lot more use than just understanding and evolving dentistry. Teeth can withstand tremendous pressure and extreme conditions providing for an incomparable piece of evidence. The comparison of the ante-mortem and the post-mortem evidences can be used to establish an identity of the required personnel. The oral cavity provides an excellent field to work on when it comes to human identification, age estimation and sex determination. The Bichat’s fat pad, lips, maxillary bones and the teeth protect the palatal rugae hence making them resistant to decomposition and incineration. The palatal rugae are characteristic to every individual. Just like the fingerprints, lip prints are permanent and constant for every individual. Bite marks can be found either on the attacker or the perpetrator. Both lip prints and bite marks account for important evidence for human identification found at the site of crime in the cases of sexual abuse. As the oral cavity serves as a useful source of DNA, latter can be extracted from saliva, the oral mucosal cells and the teeth. This DNA is used for PCR analysis. Dental structures can prove as useful indictors in determining the individual’s chronological age by analysing the tooth development. The sexual dimorphism elicited by various teeth of the human dentition play a major role in sex determination of the individual. The various recent advances like- facial reconstruction, dental identification methods, tongue prints, ameloglyphics make forensic dentistry a convenient and an effective tool in human identification. Forensic dentistry should not only be restricted to the dentists but various team involved in investigations and justice should also be exposed to this arena to avoid any biased and negligent decision making.

Abstract:

All humans have an identity in life. The cornerstone of forensic science is the positive identification of a human using his unique traits and characteristics. One of the most challenging aspects in forensic dentistry is the recognition, recovery and analysis of evidences and its matching with the suspects. A calculated and objective comparison utilizing technology would strengthen the validity of evidences in forensic dentistry. The use of advanced computer aided technology like CAD/CAM, has shown, in recent years, that it is possible to match DNA, Blood group antigens and tooth impression from a chewing gum retrieved to undermine the credibility of proof in a crime. The computer system of CAD/CAM can be used to construct a 3D-image of an object that has been retrieved from the crime scene by scanning the object and store all the information and can be used to assess the finding. This avoids any errors made by manual techniques which may not be always accurate. This review on CAD/CAM is described in this article with emphasis on its application in Forensics.
