Forensic Odontology: Teeth and Their Secrets

Abstract

Forensic odontologists are dentists who have special skills in the areas of clinical dentistry, forensic medicine, and police investigation. They analyze any dental evidence, make forensic conclusions, and testify in court to support their conclusions. Forensic odontologists play an essential role in identifying either victims of disasters or victims and suspects of individual crimes. Forensic odontologists often have the chance to supply the crucial missing piece of a criminal or forensic puzzle that has eluded others.
