“…These marks are usually caused by the incisors, canine, and premolars. If the executor has dentures, supplementary marks can be present, depending on the use of removable or fixed prosthesis [12]. Canine marks in a bite are the most prominent, and the normal distance between maxillary canines is 25–40 mm [13].…”

“…Van der Velden et al, Patil et al, Rathode et al, Osman et al, and Gopal and Anusha used indirect methods for bite mark analysis and proved that computed-assisted methods were preferably better [6–8,12,13]. Kashyap et al in 2015 also used indirect digital imaging and compared the bite mark pattern and intercanine distance between humans and dogs [9].…”

Background Bite mark analysis is an imperative area of forensic odontology and considered the commonest form of dental evidence presented in the criminal court. The process of comparing bite marks with a suspect's dentition includes analysis and measurement of shape, size, and position of an individual's teeth. The present study was aimed to evaluate the bite marks of males and females using a novel indirect computer-assisted method and explicate its application in forensic odontology. Materials and methods 60 subjects (30 males and 30 females) with normal occlusion were included in the present study. Bite registrations were obtained with help of modelling waxes, and positive replicas were prepared with dental stone and barium powder. Intraoral periapical radiographs were taken for the same. The radiographs obtained were scanned and analyzed by measuring tools using Sidexis Next Generation software. Intercanine distance (ICD), line AB, angle ABX, and angle ABY were measured. The Kruskal–Wallis test was performed to compare the bite marks of males and females. Results The mean ICD of males and females was found to be 32.95 mm and 29.84 mm, respectively, and was statistically highly significant with a p value <0.001. The mean ICD, line AB, and angle ABX were found to be higher in males when compared to females. Conclusion Analysis of bite marks using this novel computer-assisted method is a simple, reliable, easily reproducible, and economical technique with confidentiality of the identity of the participants involved.

“…Therefore, the manufacturers do not have a major commitment in guiding the consumer and clearly disobey what the CDC dictates regarding a product that is widely used not only in dental clinics. It is also largely employed in forensic exams, for activities like facial reconstruction and analysis of bite marks, being an important adjunct to unravel crimes, clarify investigations and support dilemmas of processes in civil, criminal, labor, social security, ethical or administrative fields [1][2]7,[9][10][18][19][20] .…”

Aim: The aims of this study were: a) to verify if the instructions displayed on the packages and labels of dental plaster available for purchase in the city of Porto Alegre are in accordance with the Brazilian laws, and b) to analyze how information is available on packages and labels of dental plaster acquired by dentists. Methods: For this study, it was used the method proposed by Silva et al. (2010) modified, according to which the information related to instructions for product use displayed on packages and labels, if present, provided by manufacturers and/or importers from each brand of plaster was reviewed: how to use, composition, price, expiration date, health risks and disposal instructions. The collected information was subsequently confronted with the requirements laid out in national legislation on trade of dental plaster. Results: No product showed the price or the instructions for disposal. One brand showed no information of the package and another one showed only the composition of the product; this requirement was present in most products. The mode of use and the expiration date were present in almost all packages, except for two brands. Only two brands presented information on health risks, and yet unsatisfactory. Conclusions: The different brands and types of dental plaster analyzed presented some kind of violation of the provisions of the Brazilian legislation, most with missing or unsatisfactory information.

“…Further, for every individual the overlay of these edges can be digitalized and preserved. [18] The data now available gives details of the area, perimeter, angulation of tooth, mesiodistal, and buccolingual width of individual anterior teeth that can be matched for identification of body. …”

Forensic odontology (FO) is a branch of forensic medicine that in the interest of justice deals with proper handling and examination of dental evidence. Teeth can survive in most conditions encountered at death and during decomposition, even when the body is exposed to extreme forces and/or temperatures. FO is being practiced worldwide since 1775, after which it has not only become an integral part of the judicial system of the developed countries but also been adopted by the armed forces and investigative agencies of these countries. In India, the awareness of FO is gaining pace since the last decade after the establishment of various organizations and the Dental Council of India making it a part of the curriculum. However, its identity as an individual endeavour is still to be established. Awareness and applicability of FO in the Indian Defense Forces would be of great help for better and accurate record keeping of the dedicated and vigilant warriors of our army. These records will be of great help for easy recognition of our army men at the time of calamities, wars, and other difficulties. It would also be useful in the identification of terrorists who enter our country and travel easily in disguise.
