Forensic odontology

Forensic odontology is the application of dental science to legal investigations. It involves the examination and evaluation of dental evidence to identify human remains, analyze bite marks, and assist in crime scene investigations. This specialized field plays a crucial role in solving cases where other methods of identification are not possible, providing valuable insights in both criminal and civil cases. Forensic odontologists work closely with law enforcement, medical examiners, and legal professionals to ensure accurate and reliable dental identification.
