Forensic odontology is an evolving science and has a greater scope of development. It has established as an indispensable science in medico-legal matters and in the identification of the dead person. The dental tissues are often preserved even if the deceased person is skeletonized, decomposed, burnt, or dismembered. Various methods have been developed to determine age, sex, and ethnicity of the person, using dental tissues. Data collection methods and supplementary technologies used in forensic dental identification have undergone significant transformation. This article provides an overview of the evolving trends in conventional methods, and the recent concepts used in forensic odontology.
Forensic odontology is a branch of forensic sciences that uses the skill of a dentist in personal identification during mass calamities, sexual assault, and child abuse to name a few. Forensic odontology is an evolving science and has a greater scope of development. Recent advances in the field of genetics and molecular biology have contributed to the rapid growth of forensic odontology. In case of a crime scene, forensic odontologists play a major role in investigating and interpreting dental evidence. Forensic odontologists utilize the knowledge of dentistry in bite mark analysis, fixation of identity in mass disasters, and age estimation. Thus, the duty and responsibility of forensic odontologists has increased in recent years. Therefore, practicing dentists and dental students should be made aware of the available newer technologies and its use in forensic dentistry. This article gives an overview of recent advances used in identification in forensic dentistry.
Forensic odontology, an integral discipline within forensic science, has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years, revolutionizing its methodologies, technologies, and applications. This paper explores the latest innovations, applications, and future directions in forensic odontology, encompassing a wide range of techniques and approaches. From digital dental records management to molecular biology techniques, from bite mark analysis to age estimation methods, this review presents a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of forensic odontology. Additionally, it highlights key facts and figures to underscore the significance of these advancements in enhancing forensic investigations and facilitating justice.
