“Taking a bite out of Crime”

Teeth Survive! – Fire, trauma, age, weathering, water do not greatly effect teeth – Most people have records from dental check-ups available – Good source of identification Teeth Survive! – Fire, trauma, age, weathering, water do not greatly effect teeth – Most people have records from dental check-ups available – Good source of identification

History of Forensic Dentistry Enemy of Emperor Nero’s Mother identified by a discolored tooth. 66 AD Paul Revere (a young dentist) helped identify war casualties by their bridgework. U.S. Revolutionary War Identification of Adolf Hitler WWII Victims of the attack on the World Trade Center identified by dental records 9/11/01

Anatomy of Teeth - Juvenile

Anatomy of Teeth - Adult

Evidence Collection: Victim Physical appearance Color size and orientation of the injury Relative shape of the site Location on the body Types of injuries present Cuts? Bruises? Scrapes? Can the difference between marks from the upper and lower teeth be determined?

Evidence Collection: Victim Photographs Take extensive orientation and close-up photographs Include a reference Scale.

Evidence Collection: Victim Saliva swabs Use the double swab technique: First, Moistened swab to wash the surface Second, a dry swab to collect the remaining moisture that is left on the skin Both swabs are thoroughly air-dried at room temperature for at least 45 minutes The envelopes or boxes should be refrigerated or frozen during storage. A DNA sample must also be collected from the victim to compare with the sample

Evidence Collection: Victim Use vinyl polysiloxane, polyether or other dental impression materials to create an impression of the bite mark Impression

Evidence Collection: Suspect Clinical Examination Establishes basis for dental irregularities Photographs Full facial Profile Intra-oral exposures Include a reference scale Impressions Accurate dental impression materials should be used.

Evidence Collection: Suspect A sample of the suspect’s bite is recorded using either a wafer of baseplate wax, a sample of silicone putty material, or other material This exhibit should be photographed immediately after it is recorded. Bite sample

Conclusions The same individual No unexplained discrepancies Positive ID: Consistent features but, because of the quality Not possible to establish identity positively. Possible ID Clearly inconsistent Exclusion The available information is insufficient to form the basis for a conclusion. Insufficient Evidence
