Opis

Forensic Dental Radiology usually comprises the performance, interpretation, and reportage of those radiological examinations and procedures that have to do with the courts and/or the law. The main applications of Forensic Dental Radiology are: Identifying unknown human remains through comparison of post-mortem dental evidence with dental records of the presumed deceased, Assisting at the scene of a mass disaster and in the victim's identification, Determining the sex of unidentified individuals, Age estimation of both the living and deceased, Presenting evidence in court as expert witnesses & Eliciting the ethnicity/population affinity and assisting in building up a picture of lifestyle and diet with the help of skeletal remains at forensic and archaeological sites. When all other procedures to identify the deceased person fail; forensic dental radiology gives accurate results and is easy to perform without any requirement of sophisticated equipment.
