This document provides an overview of forensic odontology. It discusses how forensic odontology deals with identification of unknown human remains through dental comparison. Key areas that forensic odontology assists with include identification in mass disasters, determining sex, age estimation, and bite mark analysis. Identification is based on the theory that no two individuals have the same dental characteristics. Methods of identification involve comparative identification by matching post-mortem dental evidence to antemortem records, as well as reconstructive identification to determine traits like age, sex, and race when no prior records exist.
