Bite mark analysis is a forensic science technique used to identify the biter and has been used in dentistry for many years. It is a unique form of identification because it is based on the unique features of an individual's teeth, which are as individual as a fingerprint. Bite mark analysis involves the comparison of a bite mark left on a victim to the dental characteristics of a suspect. This is done by analyzing the shape and size of the teeth as well as any other distinguishing features such as chips, fractures, or other marks left on the teeth. Bite mark analysis is used in criminal investigations as a way to determine the identity of the perpetrator of a crime. It can also be used in civil cases, such as in determining the identity of a person who has caused bodily harm or property damage. Bite mark analysis can provide valuable information to law enforcement and courts so that a guilty party is brought to justice. In dentistry, bite mark analysis is used to identify individuals who have committed assaults or other violent acts. It is also used to identify victims of crime, such as those who have been sexually assaulted, as well as to identify suspects in cases where there is no other physical evidence available. In addition, bite mark analysis can be used to confirm or refute an alibi in a criminal case. Bite mark analysis is a valuable tool for forensic dentists and other law enforcement professionals. It can provide crucial information in a criminal investigation and can help to ensure that justice is served. While the process is not foolproof, it is a reliable way to identify individuals in a variety of circumstances.
