Abstract Virtopsy (virtual autopsy) is the new age complimentary documentation approach to identify and analyze the details of the demised. With the evolution of digitalization, techniques like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can supplement or even partially replace traditional autopsy. Apart from the fact that this can be done both in living and dead individuals, the documentation and analysis and autopsy findings are investigator independent, objective and noninvasive, leading to qualitative improvement in the forensic investigation and precision of results. In forensic odontology, virtospy helps in facial reconstruction, bite-mark registration and analysis, lip print and rugae analysis, comparative ante mortem and post mortem analysis and patient identification and age and sex determination in virtual skeletons. With the advent of preventive dentistry leading to minimal restorations, correlative dental analysis is now showing a paradigm shift to digital analysis and virtual autopsy will assist in this aspect.
