Forensic odontology is an essential field in the intersection of dentistry and law enforcement, offering valuable insights for criminal investigations. This discipline is particularly useful in identifying individuals whose remains are badly decomposed, burned, or otherwise unrecognizable. By studying dental records, including the structure and uniqueness of teeth and restorations, forensic odontologists can establish the identity of victims. Additionally, bite mark analysis, another key aspect of forensic odontology, has been used in solving cases involving assault, abuse, and even homicides. This specialized branch of dentistry has grown in importance as technology advances, allowing for more accurate and efficient identification methods, ultimately supporting justice and providing families with answers in the most challenging situations.
