Forensic Dentistry

Track 19: Forensic Dentistry

Forensic dentistry is the use of dental expertise in the proper management, inspection and analysis of dental evidence, which may then be bestowed in the interests of justice. Forensic dentists aid analytical organisations in identifying reborn human remains in the extraction process as well as the identification of fragmented bodies. Dental data, including radiographs, ante-mortem and post-mortem pictures, and DNA, are used in the analysis. The term "forensic odontology" comes from the Latin term "jurisdictional odontology," which means "jurisdictional odontology."
