About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Forensic Odontology - An Introduction to Forensic Dentistry” by Jessica Wong.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about Forensic odontology, the use of dental knowledge and expertise in legal investigations, particularly in identifying human remains and determining the cause of death. It involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of dental evidence to assist in the identification of individuals and the resolution of criminal cases.

Forensic odontologists play a crucial role in identifying human remains when other forms of identification, such as fingerprints or DNA, are not available or are insufficient. They examine dental records, such as X-rays and dental impressions, and compare them with the dental remains of a deceased individual to make a positive identification.

In addition to identification, forensic odontologists also analyze dental evidence to determine the cause of death. They can identify bite marks on a victim or perpetrator and compare them to dental records to identify the individual responsible. They may also be able to identify the cause of death through dental evidence, such as tooth fractures or patterns of wear.

Forensic odontology is an important field within forensic science and plays a vital role in the investigation of crimes and the identification of missing persons.

Slide 2-

Forensic Odontology is the application of dentistry in legal proceedings deriving from ANY evidence that pertains to teeth. Forensic Odontology
Slide 3-

Why Teeth? Every human body ages in a similar manner, the teeth also follow a semi-standardized pattern. These quantitative measurements help establish relative age of person. Each human has an individual set of teeth which can be traced back to established dental records to find missing individuals. Teeth is made of enamel (hardest tissue of the body) so it can withstand trauma (decomposition, heat degradation, water immersion, and desiccation) better than other tissues in body. Teeth are a source of DNA: dental pulp or a crushed tooth can provide nuclear or mitochondrial DNA that to help identify a person.
Slide 4-

Who practices Forensic Odontology and what do they do? Forensic Odontologists Must have DDS degree Should have specialized training in the field through lectures (not required) Forensic dentists help: Identify human remains (individual and mass) Analyze bite marks Bite marks are compared to known teeth molds to find origin of bite injuries Estimate age of the victim and perpetrator Trace dental malpractice Top: Forensic Odontologist analyzing animal teeth for comparison.

History of Forensic Odontology 66AD – First body identified using teeth Lollia Paulina Revolutionary War Paul Revere was the first forensic dentist in the United States because he identified fallen revolutionary soldiers. 1849 – Mass deaths at Vienna Opera House Fire Dental evidence is first admitted into court system in US
Slide 6-

Organizations of Forensic Odontology Bureau of Legal Dentistry (BOLD) American Board of Forensic Odontology (ABFO) International Organization for Forensic Odonto-Stomatology (IOFOS)
Slide 7-

Hardest part of body attached TO jaws. IT serves to help digest food, act as a defense mechanism, etc. teeth are made of a crown with enamel surrounding a pulp. Teeth
Slide 8-

Teeth Basics Approximately 32 teeth in adult mouth Four types of teeth: Molars Premolars Canine Incisors Teeth differ in: Size Shape Root type Types of teeth. Left to right: Incisor, Canine, Premolar, molar.
Slide 9-

Childhood Adulthood Teeth through the years Primary teeth sprout from milk buds and are temporary. Once they fall out, permanent teeth as seen on the other side appear. Permanent adult teeth come in when primary teeth fall out; they are permanent because they establish roots inside the gums. Third molar come in around the mid teenage years.
Slide 10-

Standard Teeth Development for Age Determination
Slide 11-

Individual Characteristics Size of tooth Shape of tooth Shape of root Placement of tooth Quantity of teeth Combinations of dental work done: Crowns Extractions Bridge Fillings Root canals Various dental work
Slide 12-

Analyzing Teeth The Universal System Teeth are given a specific number. (Primary teeth are given specific capital letter) Any dental work done on surface is noted Sheets kept on dental file forever. When person is missing, files are transferred to the missing person’s office
Slide 13-

Individual Identification Mass Identification Postmortem description is generated X rays and radiographs Positive identification is compared to ante-mortem data Negative identification, a biological profile is generated Same process is used as individual identification Organization is crucial Family is asked to come identify the body, and narrow down the pool of victims. Identification
Slide 14-

Various Teeth Found
Slide 15-

Impressions from teeth found on skin or items left at a scene. Usually outline teeth placement. Bite Marks
Slide 16-

Where are bite marks found? Impressions left on food, skin or other items left at a scene. Porous surfaces that absorb the impact enough to make an impression Impressions vary Depending on the pressure applied, the impression will show accordingly. The more pressure there is, the more detail to the bite.
Slide 17-

Analyzing bite marks Bite marks are photographed with a scale Bite marks on skin are taken over repeated intervals Casts of impression are taken Impression traced onto transparencies Casts of suspects teeth are taken Comparison between suspect cast and bite mark
Slide 18-

Various Bite Marks
Slide 19-

State of Florida v. Ted Bundy Evidence, various pictures from trial Ted Bundy, was an American serial killer who murdered numerous young women between 1974 and 1978. He confessed to 30 murders, however the total amount of victims remains unknown. He would bludgeon his victims, then strangle them to death. He engaged in rape and necrophilia.
Slide 20-

Computer Odontology Automatic dental code matching Bites are run through the computer to find a match OdontoSearch Compare a data base of missing peoples, felons, government workers Automatic dental identification system A few minutes will produce a list of people who have the same dental code number 3D Bite mark analysis 3D scans of dental casts are used to generate overlays using various pressure and deviation. The overlays are compared with the photograph of the bite marks.
