This document summarizes an online conference on forensic odentistry hosted by King Saud University. It includes presentations on topics like bite mark analysis, using prosthetics and dental markers for identification, and estimating age through dental and non-dental methods. Case studies are presented to demonstrate how these forensic dentistry techniques can be applied. References are also provided at the end.

8. The 1st formally reported case
of dental identification was that
of the 80 years old warrior John
Talbot (engelish general).
He fell in the battle of Castillon
in 1453.
The body of Jhon Talbot was
identified due to a gab tooth
extracted close to the time of his
demise.

9. The first dental evidence has been
accepted in US court was in Webster
Parkman case 1849 in Bostan.
The Webster-Parkman Murder is
noteworthy as one of the earliest uses
of forensic evidence to identify a body.
As the remains of Parkman had been
partially cremated, dental evidence
and bone fragments were used to
verify the remains.

10. The 1st forensic odontologist in
US was Dr. Paul Revere who
identified the extremed body of
Dr. Joseph Warren, in 1775The
identification was through a
bridge of silver and ivory that he
had constructed two years
previously.

11. 1897 Dr.Oscar Amoedo (Father
of forensic odontology) wrote
the 1st book of forensic dentistry

13. Methods used in forensic dentistry:
Bite mark analysis:
comparing dental impressions taken from a person's mouth to bite-mark impressions on the skin of the victim.
There are many factors to consider; including matching for striations whorls, indentation,pitting #oral_path_conf

14. 2) Prosthesis & markers:
If the deceased has any prosthesis at the time of
death, it should be described in details. HOW it
helps?
Actually, this is done if the cast on which the
prosthesis was fabricated is available for comparison

15. 3) Age estimation:
This could be done by either: Dental age estimation
Non-dental age estimation
dental age is determined by the stages of
development of the human deciduous and permanent
dentition

16. recent studies provide evidence that cementum exhibits annual
patterns of deposition.
Age may be estimated using a number of skeletal markers,
including the condition of the sternal end of the fourth rib, the
amount of cranial suture fusion, the appearance of the articular
surfaces of the pubic symphysis and more than this!

17. FORENSIC ODONTOLOGY
PROCEDURE :

18. COMPARATIVE IDENTIFICATION: COMPARING THE DEAD
INDIVIDUALS TEETH WITH PRESUMED DENTAL RECORDS
OF THE INDIVIDUAL

19. RECONSTRUCTIVE IDENTIFICATION: ATTEMPTS TO ELICIT THE
ETHNICITY OR “RACE”, GENDER,AGE AND OCCUPATION OF
THE DEAD BODY

20. CASE PRESENTATION TO
APPLY IT IN REAL LIFE

21. CASE1

22. AGE IDENTIFICATION CAN BE DONE BY
DENTAL WAY AND NON DENTAL WAY

25. IN CONCLUSION, THIS CASE IS A
CAUCASOID, MALE SKELETAL
REMAINS FOR AN ESTIMATED AGE
OF 40S YEARS OLD.

26. DO YOU THINK IMPRESSION CAN HELP IN FORENSIC
DENTISTRY ? YOU DON'T THINK? SO YOU SHOULD READ TED
