Abstract

The scientific study of structure and diseases of teeth is defined as Odontology, but when it is presented in the interest of justice it is known as Forensic Odontology.

Forensic Odontology was done mainly to reconstruct the deceased person’s age, sex, the ethnicity of the person, using dental tissues. It plays a major role in some cases such as Murder, Rapes and Juvenile delinquency, Mass disasters, Kidnappings.

Forensic Odontology is performed by Forensic odontologists and uses the skills of a dentist to establish the identity of the person whose remains have been found.
