Odontology, a fascinating branch of forensic science, delves into the intricate world of dental investigations. Beyond routine dental care, odontologists use dental records and unique dental features to identify individuals, often playing a pivotal role in criminal cases and disaster victim identification. The analysis of bite marks and dental impressions provides crucial evidence, showcasing the distinctiveness of dental characteristics. This specialized field requires a meticulous approach, combining dental expertise with forensic methodologies. By shining a spotlight on odontology, we recognize its significance in the realms of justice and identification, underlining the pivotal role that dental science plays in contributing to the resolution of complex legal and forensic puzzles.
