Forensic Odontology - A Science within a Scienceasclepiuspdfs
Forensic odontology, a branch of forensic sciences, uses the skill of the dentist in personal identification during mass calamities, gender assault, and child abuse. Its role in the judiciary is of much importance by providing the required information, which will help the legal authorities to recognize negligence, malpractice, abuse, and identification of unknown individuals. The applications of forensic odontology in crime investigations include the identification of teeth that are used as weapons may provide information regarding the identity of the biter. Forensic odontology employs various methods that play a major role in the identification of individuals who cannot be identified individually or by other means.
The branch of dentistry which – in the interests of justice – deals with the proper handling and examination of dental evidence and with the proper evaluation and presentation of dental findings. - Keiser Neilsen - 1970

Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.

2. WHAT IS FORENSIC
ODONTOLOGY
Branch of dentistry which deals with the
proper handling, examination & evaluation of
dental evidences & with the proper
presentation of dental findings in the interest
of justice.
3. INTRODUCTION
Sex determination is an important step for
identification of human remains and for
dentolegal investigations in forensic odontology.
Teeth may prove to be an important factor for
identifying the individual through cellular,
immunological and enzymological examination of
their pulp.
4. Determining the sex of
unknown human skeletal
remains is the second step in
the triad of building a dental
profile.
Therefore, sexing of teeth could be of
immense help in identification of human
remains investigation and solving crimes.
5. DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES
During last five decades many workers have
contributed for evolving different techniques of
sex determination from human skeleton.
These can be considered under following
headings:
Determination of sex by anatomical method
which includes-
Skull
Pelvis , sacrum, long bones and other bones.
6. Tooth morphology
Determination of sex by cheiloscopy &
palatoscopy
Determination of sex by nuclear testing
From blood stains
From hair
From saliva
From tooth pulp
X chromosome
Y chromosome
7. Some researchers believe that if the dental and
bone ages correspond closely, the skeleton is
probably male; if the bone age is advanced in
comparision with the dental age, it is probably
female.
8. DETERMINATION BY ANATOMICAL
METHODS
The determination of sex by examination of
the skeleton is based upon the appearances
of:
1) Pelvis(innominates + sacrum)
2) Skull (cranium + mandible)
3) Long bones(humerus , femur)
4) Sternum
5) Scapula, metacarpal bones
9. Krongman ranks accuracy
of sex determination
using the pelvis at 95%,
the skull at 90%, the
pelvis and skull at 98%
and long bones at 80%.
10. I) SKULL
The features that indicate sex are:
General appearance
Supraorbital ridges
Orbits
Glabella
Zygomatic arches
Mastoid processes
External occipital protuberance
Mandible
Palate
11. WHEN COMPARED, THE FEMALE SKULL
APPEARS SMALLER AND MORE GRACILE.
THE MALE SKULL IS USUALLY LARGER
AND MORE RUGGED
MALE FEMALE
1. GENERAL
APPEARANCE
12. Supraorbital ridges: this is the region directly
above the orbit and nose , or the “brow ridge”.
Less pronounced = female
More pronounced = male
16. 4. ZYGOMATIC ARCHES
In females, the zygomatic arch is less
pronounced & tends not to extend posteriorly
beyond external auditory meatus.
In males, zygomatic arch is more pronounced &
tends to extend posteriorly beyond external
auditory meatus.
24. 9. RAMUS OF MANDIBLE
Mandible in male is closer to right angle than
female.
In females, the ramus is at an obtuse angle.
Ramus in males is wider & larger.
28. 5 features in innominate that indicate sex in
pubic region are:
Width of sciatic notch
Subpubic angle
Ventral arc
Ischio-pubic ramus
Acetabulum diameter
33. III) SACRUM
In female, sacrum is shorter and wider than in
male and bone is also directed more obliquely
backward.
34. IV) STERNUM
Variable usefullness in sex estimation.
In males, body of sternum is >2X length of
manubrium & in females <2X
<125 mm=females these figures are
>155 mm=males from Bass
37. Graph 3: Statistically significant difference was observed
between two genders (P < 0.001). Type III pattern was
more common among males,whereas types I′ and I were
more common among females
38.
39. The palatal rugae, like fingerprints, do not
change during the life of the individual.
They are protected from trauma and high
temperatures because of their internal position
in the oral cavity.
Palatoscopy can be of special interest in those
cases where there are no fingerprints available
like decomposed bodies, burned bodies and
conditions were both the upper limbs are
missing.
40. Based on the direction rugae were classified as:
1) Forwardly directed rugae – associated with
positive angles
2) Backwardly directed rugae -associated with
negative angles
3) Perpendicular rugae – associated with zero
angles.
44. DETERMINATION BY TOOTH
MORPHOLOGY AND DENTAL INDEX
Mandibular cuspid show the maximum
sexual dimorphism:
Mesiodistal diameter<6.7 mm(female)
Mesiodistal diameter>7mm (male)
Root length of maxillary cuspids is >3mm
in males
46. Mandibular Canine index(MCI) by Rao and
associates:
Mandibular
canines can be
considered as
the ‘key teeth’
for personal
identification
47. The cut-off value or standard MCI value
obtained by Rao and associates was 0.274 .
If the MCI value of a skull specimen is less
than or equal to the standard MCI , the
individual is categorized as female.
A value more than the standard MCI would
group the person as male.
49. WHY TEETH??
Since teeth can resist extreme condition,
they are the excellent source of DNA.
This facilitates comparision with the known
biological ante-mortem sample of the person
such as hair, epithelial cells from the tooth
brush or a biopsy specimen.
50. The mass of chromatin in nuclei was
frequently present in females but only rarely
in males.
Distal portion of the human chromosome
fluoresces brightly when stained with
quinacrine mustard.
Vaginal epithelium and buccal epithelium
may be used for nuclear sexing.
51. 1) FROM BLOOD STAIN
‘drumstick’ in neutrophil leucocytes is a female
characteristic.
Fluorescent Y-chromosome in hairs and blood
stains.
Radioimmunoassay (RIA) for sex determination
in dried blood stains.
52. 2) FROM HAIR
Sex chromatin in external root sheath of
plucked hair, aids in determining sex of the
individual.
53. 3) FROM SALIVA
The determination of sex by saliva spots and
the application of cigarette ends using sex
chromatin technique, and the fluorescent Y-
chromosome technique for determining sex
from saliva may be used.
54. 4) FROM DENTAL PULP
A method of identifying the sex from a single
human tooth on the basis of fluorescence of
the distal end of a long arm of Y-chromosome
in the nucleated cell of dental pulp.
But this method becomes increasingly
unreliable as putrefaction proceeds .
Using acetin-orcin stain for Y-chromosome a
method to detect both sexes using very small
amount of pulp.
55. Necrosed pulp can also be studied by a
method by which one can detect Y-
chromosome (F-bodies) using 0.5% quinacrine
HCL staining and Toludiene blue staining for
detecting female X- chromatin (Barr body).
56. CONCLUSION
Forensic odontology in India is an emerging
field and relies a lot on inexpensive and easy
means of identification of persons from
fragmented jaws and dental remains.
Teeth are considered a useful supplement and
adjunct to sex determination and not
recommended as the sole indicator of sex.
