The advent of DNA typing has revolutionized law enforcement. The identification of dead bodies in mass casualties has been a Herculean task since time immemorial. Fatal crash of civil or military airliners generally leaves numerous unidentified bodies. Despite the fact that the inner of the teeth is relatively protected against external influence, the DNA of the pulpal tissue can be harmed so m...

We are living in the era of science and technology and it have infused with many aspects of our everyday life. With the advent of newer technologies the criminals have made full use of it which sometimes facade a challenging task to investigators such as forensic experts to catch the crime. This paper will discuss the need for computer forensics and application of technologies to be practiced i...

Background: Fast and secure identification processes in forensic odontology can be a very difficult process. Probably the most common techniques used are Dental, fingerprint and DNA comparisons. Since these techniques cannot always be used, it is necessary to apply different and less known techniques such as cheiloscopy. Due to its special features, lip groove can be used successfully in human ...

Forensic Odontology is a study dedicated to identifying individuals based on specific characteristics of teeth structural arrangement. Human bite mark analysis is by far the most demanding and complicated part of forensic dentistry. This process generally involves human interaction and hence tends to bias. In this paper a system is tested and implemented that reduces human bias to certain exten...

The study of identical twins can point out potential limitations in biometrics and forensic odontology. This case report presents three-dimensional (3D) palatal rugae analysis in monozygotic twins utilizing digital models obtained directly by scanning the maxillary dental arch with the iTero® intraoral digital scanner. The results show that the rugae patterns contain related but not identical f...

The identification of unknown human by smile photographs that show specific characteristics of each individual has found wide acceptance all over the world. Therefore this paper shows this situation reporting different cases which smile photograph analysis were crucial to determine the positive identification of unidentified human bodies. All the cases were subjected to personal identification ...
