What is Forensic Dentistry?

Forensic odontology is the recognized dental discipline applying clinical dental science to legal investigations, judicial proceedings, and official human identification matters.

Through systematic ante-mortem and post-mortem dental record comparison, expert bite mark review, forensic dental age estimation, and clinical chart audits, forensic dentists produce objective medico-legal documentation that assists judicial tribunals and protects patient legal rights with strict scientific rigor.
