Abstract

 A significant field of study and analysis in Forensic Dentistry is the recognition and interpretation of marks produced by human bites in human body, foods and other articles founded in crime scenes or in the. The knowledge of human dentition and unique features in the dental arches can provide substantial value to forensic experts. Particularly, in bite marks found in the skin, generally resultant of rapes, fights, assaults, abuses and child violence, this evidence can mean the crime resolution, assuming a decisive role in the criminal identification. In this direction, the DNA technology can be used in the recovery of the genetic material, through the saliva deposited in the skin, after the production of a bite mark. This literature review aimed to stand out the importance of the recognition of bite mark injuries and emphasizing the use of the DNA technology in the briefing of crimes.
