Abstract

 Forensic Odontology is a new science that utilizes dentist’s knowledge to serve the judicial system. Dentists qualified in forensic science are giving expert opinion in cases related to bitemark analysis, human identification, malpractice, and craniofacial trauma worldwide. Human identification relies heavily on the quality of dental records; however Forensic Odontologists can still contribute to investigation the identity in the absence of dental records through profiling the person using features related to the teeth. Along with other healthcare providers, dentists encounter nonaccidental cases of injuries. Detection, interpretation and management are important from a legal and human point of view. Dentists should be aware of the legal impact, and should refer them to the appropriate authorities for suitable action. This article gives an idea to Forensic Odontology and outlines some of its medicolegal applications.
