Full textAbstract:
Background: Dental professionals assist with legal and criminal matters through the practice of forensic dentistry which has evolved over the past century and is now a crucial component of undergraduate dental education in many nations. The need for formal training in the subject and its inclusion in dental curricula were acknowledged and addressed in the 1960s and 1970s. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the teaching of forensic dentistry in dental universities of Khartoum, Sudan, and to propose certain topics and teaching criteria to be standardized in forensic dentistry teaching in Sudan. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive study was conducted, involving all undergraduate dental institutions in Khartoum, Sudan. Institutional websites were searched using the Google search engine to obtain the dental program curricula in English. The curricula were then analyzed to identify the presence of forensic odontology/dentistry teaching. Results: Of the 19 universities included in the study, five (26.3%) teach forensic dentistry in their undergraduate curricula, whereas 12 (63.1%) do not. Two universities (10.6%) indicated the presence of forensic dentistry teaching in their curricula but did not provide actual instruction. The teaching of forensic dentistry mainly occurred during the second, third, and fourth years of the dental program. Three universities considered it an independent subject, while two universities incorporated it into oral and maxillofacial pathology. Four universities provided lectures only, while one university combined lectures and practical sessions. Qualified forensic dentists taught the subject in four universities, while one university had general dentists as instructors. The main topics delivered are: (1) introduction to forensics, (2) human identification, (3) dental age estimation, (4) interpretation of bitemarks, (5) DNA in forensics, and (6) child abuse. Conclusion: Forensic dentistry training is currently undervalued in Sudan due to various limitations. It is recommended that all dental schools in Sudan offer opportunities for students to learn and become acquainted with forensic dentistry as part of their dental programs. The Sudanese Dental Council should establish formal coordination with academic institutions and experienced forensic dentists to ensure the quality and relevance of the proposed modular course within the educational system. Finally, additional topics including dental record-keeping and dental malpractice are suggested for inclusion in the current modules.

Full textAbstract:
Dental evidence in forensic investigation has been in practice for many years. Forensic dentistry or forensic odontology predominantly involves the identification of human remains, by comparing the dental evidence of deceased persons recovered from the scene of an accident or a crime (post-mortem dental data) with the ante-mortem dental records. The use of dental identification lies in the fact that no two oral cavities are alike, and the teeth are unique for everyone. In addition, dental structures are not only the hardest and most protected structures in the body, but are also the most resistant to degradation due to environmental impact. Identification of a deceased individual using forensic odontology is possible with a higher degree certainty, as it is possible to apply multiple tools such as dental imaging, tongue print, lip print, rugoscopy, tooth signature, ameloglyphics, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis, bite-marks, dentures and prosthesis, facial reconstruction, virtopsy and software applications. Since the role of a forensic dentist extends even beyond identification, especially in the absence of ante-mortem dental records for comparison, teeth become a determinant factor in identification, and determination of age, gender and ethnicity. Although several methods and techniques of identification have been described in forensic dentistry, there is no comprehensive resource that describes them all in detail. Therefore, this review paper aims to analyze and discuss the available methods of identification in forensic dentistry, their merits and limitations, and how they might be of help to the forensic dentists and pathologists.

Abstract Background: Forensic dentistry is a branch of forensic science that deals with the examination, analysis, and interpretation of dental evidence in legal investigations. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, practice, and attitudes of Iraqi dentists toward forensic dentistry. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was designed with four sections and distributed to dentists. The four sections were demographic, knowledge (assessed the dentists’ knowledge and consisted of 14 questions), practice (evaluated the dentists’ practices and consisted of six questions), and attitude (consisted of two questions to assess the dentists’ attitudes). For the knowledge, practice, and attitude sections, the answers were either “yes” (correct), “no,” or “I don’t know” (incorrect). The correct answer frequencies were calculated, and the mean scores of responses were compared among the different variables. Results: A total of 414 dentists responded, including 196 male dentists and 218 female dentists. The mean age of the responders was 32.57 years, and the responders were divided according to age into: 304 (≤40 years), and 110 dentists (˃40 years), according to qualifications into: 168 (postgraduate) and 246 (graduate), and according to experience years: 228 (≤10 years) and 186 (˃10 years). The questions related to using teeth as indicators of age received the highest number of correct answers, whereas the use of palatal rugae and lips in forensic dentistry received the lowest scores. Conclusion: Iraq dentists had limited knowledge, practice, and attitude about forensic dentistry. Therefore, it is important for undergraduate and postgraduate programs, as well as official training courses, to focus more attention on forensic dentistry.

Abstract: Human identification continues to pose a significant challenge, with thousands of individuals or corpses remaining unidentified each year, as reported by the National Missing and Unidentified Person System (NamUs). Forensic odontology becomes exceptionally crucial when visual/facial identification and fingerprinting fail, such as in disasters or decomposed remains. By leveraging the expertise of dentists, forensic odontology makes a valuable contribution to the legal system. High-quality dental records are paramount for human identification. Forensic dentistry provides scientific data for legal proceedings. The robust structure of teeth and resilient restorative materials are pivotal in the identification process. Prosthodontics, especially for denture wearers, plays a significant role, with equipment like denture labeling gaining popularity. Specialization in prosthodontics is vital for understanding dental materials, labeling techniques, palatal rugae patterns, bite marks, and lip prints. Application of effective methods in forensic odontology is of paramount importance in identifying individuals. Remarkably, prosthetics in the field of forensic dentistry remains relatively unexplored and often overlooked, even in Indonesia, despite its significant potential in the realm of forensics. In conclusion, forensic identification using prosthodontic tools such as labeling or marking on dentures can provide crucial identification clues. Dental marking techniques namely surface modification techniques and inclusion techniques, have their respective advantages and disadvantages.

Relevance. The role of a dentist is not always limited to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of various oral diseases. This profession is also of great importance in the medical and forensic fields, especially in the identification of unidentified bodies. This is why forensic dentistry has developed — a science whose contribution is invaluable in investigating crimes and mass disasters with several victims. This work requires the highest qualifications and prompt actions of specially trained experts with extensive experience. Objective. To analyze modern methods of forensic dentistry for identifying human remains, evaluate their effectiveness, and determine promising areas for dental examination development.Methodology. An analysis of the main methods of forensic dentistry was carried out. A comparative anatomical analysis of the dental system, radiographic methods, and digital technologies were used.Results. Identification methods include data collection, careful examination, and radiographic and photographic recording of postmortem evidence of tooth condition, imprints on the skin, features of the jaws, lips, and palatine folds of the mucous membrane. These data were compared with antemortem records to determine the race and age of the deceased. A key factor in successful identification is the maintenance of detailed patient records and effective cooperation with law enforcement. The study of the mechanisms of the formation of marks on teeth in cases of violence, traumatic injuries in cases of sexual violence, and characteristic injuries in cases of abuse of minors is critical for the work of a forensic dentist. Knowledge of methods for determining an individual’s age is essential. In addition, understanding the methods of establishing identity and the algorithms for their application in mass incidents while observing ethical principles is a fundamental aspect of the work of a forensic dentist. Examination of bodies for identification is inextricably linked with the observance of human rights, including the investigation of war crimes, which requires a special approach to this procedure.Conclusions. In modern times, the role of forensic dentistry has continued to increase. This is due to an increase in the number of natural and man-made disasters, military conflicts, and terrorist attacks where mass identification of victims is required. Dental methods enable highly accurate identification of remains even when other methods are ineffective. The development of digital technologies, 3D modeling, and artificial intelligence has opened new opportunities for forensic dentistry, increasing the accuracy and speed of identification. This makes dental examination an indispensable tool in modern forensic medicine and criminal investigations.

Aim: To investigate and analyze legal conflicts in forensic dentistry of Ukraine. Materials and Methods: A comparative research method for determining the common and distinctive features of the legal regulation of forensic dental expertise as a subcluster in the legislation of Ukraine. The descriptive (monographic) method reveals the problematic aspects of forensic dental examination through the lens of local normative and general normative connotations. The structural-functional research method made it possible to systematize the peculiarities of forensic medical and forensic dental expert activity. Conclusions: The analysis of legal conflicts made it possible to come to the following conclusions, that in Ukraine today there is no specific legal act that would regulate the aspects of performing dental activities. Forensic dental examination in Ukraine, in accordance with the legislation, is an examination of the actions and inactions of the dentist. The adoption of normative legal acts in the field of dental activity and forensic dental examination in Ukraine would make it possible to determine the specifics of establishing facts and circumstances that indicate a violation of the patient’s rights.

In this modern era, technology continues to grow rapidly and has become part of our everyday life. Recent advances have popularized various digital technologies for their use in forensic dentistry, especially to assist individuals. Various digital recovery methods have been included including replacing conventional forensic methods in terms of acquisition, analysis, efficiency, and accuracy. This review aims to discuss the development of digital technology within the scope of forensic dentistry as well as various methods through digital technology that can be used in solving various forensic cases. The writing of this review was carried out through a literature review on various databases in the form of PubMed, SciELO, MEDLINE, and Scholar within the last 10 years. Various digital developments in forensic dentistry that have been published include radiography and digital photography, reconstructing fragments with 3D Printing, Intra Oral 3D Scanners, UV photography in aid of dental materials, superimposed methods, assisted digital prostheses, virdentopsy & teledentistry, as well as various device developments software and database. Of these various methods, almost all methods produce good accuracy, simpler methods without any destructive action on forensic evidence, and save time compared to conventional methods. However, no method has been universally applied worldwide. This is due to limitations in accessing tools and costs that are not relatively cheap. In the future, digital technology will play a crucial role in forensics especially if it can be accessed easily.

The heavy casualties associated with mass disasters necessitate substantial resources to be managed. The unexpectedly violent nature of such occurrences usually remains a problematic amount of victims that urgently require to be identified by a reliable and economical method. Conventional identification methods are inefficient in many cases such as plane crashes and fire accidents that have damaged the macrobiometric features such as fingerprints or faces. An appropriate recognition method for such cases should use features more resistant to destruction. Forensic dentistry provides the most appropriate available method for the successful identification of victims using careful techniques and precise data interpretation. Since bones and teeth are the most persistent parts of the demolished bodies in sudden mass disasters, scanning and radiographs are unrepeatable parts of forensic dentistry. Forensic dentistry as a scientific method of human remain identification has been considerably referred to be efficient in disasters. Forensic dentistry can be used for either “sex and age estimation,” “Medical biotechnology techniques,” or “identification with dental records,” etc. The present review is aimed at discussing the development and implementation of forensic dentistry methods for human identification. For this object, the literature from the last decade has been searched for the innovations in forensic dentistry for human identification based on the PubMed database.

Objective: Age estimation is an important element in the forensic investigation, being one of the data primary sources to establish the identity of living people or unknown mortal remains. The methods used for this purpose are those based on individuals’ bones and teeth development. Since dental radiographs assume major role in the forensic context, this article aims to show, by means of literature review, the importance of dental radiographs as an aid in human identification process, particularly in the age estimation.Conclusion: The forensic dental examination contributes significantly to human identification, no matter if it is a living, in advanced decay, skeletonized or charred body. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness among dental professionals about the need to properly record and archive the information and data obtained during the daily clinical routine, since the greatest support for identification in forensic dentistry, mainly the individual’s age estimation, comes from clinical documentation produced daily by clinicians, especially dental radiographs.

Forensic Odontology is a branch of forensic science involves in human identification through dental tissues or more specifically teeth when there is the destruction of body tissues in criminal mass disasters. The importance of Forensic Dentistry in recent days lies mainly when there is little remaining material to perform such identification has led dentists working with forensic investigators to become more aware with the new molecular biology technologies. In the last few years, DNA analysis methods are more commonly applied in the forensic cases due to its uniqueness in identification of human remains even in the deceased state. DNA is a genetic material which is unique to each individual. In oral cavity and mainly in tooth structure DNA is found to be in abundant and hence it can be an excellent source of genomic DNA. Recently, DNA profiling has high reliability and is accepted as legal proofs in courts. This article mainly focuses on an overview of DNA and their applications in the last few years, highlighting its importance in forensic investigation.

The use of dentistry in forensic medicine has gradually become an indispensable tool in the process of identifying human remains. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the importance of this field in the identification of victims in mass disasters, criminal investigations, ethnic research, and the identification of decomposed and distorted bodies, such as drowning, fire and car accident victims. Dental examinations allow for precise determination of individual identities based on unique dental features. Various methods applied in forensic medicine in the realm of dentistry include dental impressions, radiographs, photographic examinations, rugoscopy, cheiloscopy, and molecular methods. Advanced dental analysis techniques make it possible to restore identities even in the most challenging cases. Equally important is the integration of knowledge and methods of forensic dentistry with other forensic disciplines such as molecular genetics and anthropology. Further research and development in this branch of science are crucial for improving investigative processes and ensuring the dignity of mass disaster victims. The aim of this work is to present methods using teeth for the identification of human remains along with the latest advancements in forensic DNA technology, which utilizes dental evidence to aid in the identification of human remains.

Abstract: Forensic dentistry is the field which is a combination of forensic and dentistry. In this we go for principles used in dentistry or dentistry forthe use in judiciary. It is one field inwhich we collectthe evidence related to dentistry and analyze them for the purpose of investigation. In a crime scene or a disaster situation a lot of destruction occurs. It becomes important to determine the identity of an individual and we can say it is the identity of the deceased. This study is being conducted based on previous research and literature presented by various research scholars. When it comes to a crime scene where we do not get the victim or culprit but we find the dentalevidence and also in cases of mass disasters, catastrophic events, industrial disasters where identification is necessary if we found the dental evidence, they can help a lot in determining age, gender partial identity can be known through this evidence. Many methods are there to determine identity through dental evidence and also apart from dental evidence we have orthometric methods but dental evidence is found to be more cheap, easy, fast methods. In this we have discussed how DNA is extracted from the teeth and it's further processing so that it will help in establishing someone's identity.

Teeth can be put to a lot more use than just understanding and evolving dentistry. Teeth can withstand tremendous pressure and extreme conditions providing for an incomparable piece of evidence. The comparison of the ante-mortem and the post-mortem evidences can be used to establish an identity of the required personnel. The oral cavity provides an excellent field to work on when it comes to human identification, age estimation and sex determination. The Bichat’s fat pad, lips, maxillary bones and the teeth protect the palatal rugae hence making them resistant to decomposition and incineration. The palatal rugae are characteristic to every individual. Just like the fingerprints, lip prints are permanent and constant for every individual. Bite marks can be found either on the attacker or the perpetrator. Both lip prints and bite marks account for important evidence for human identification found at the site of crime in the cases of sexual abuse. As the oral cavity serves as a useful source of DNA, latter can be extracted from saliva, the oral mucosal cells and the teeth. This DNA is used for PCR analysis. Dental structures can prove as useful indictors in determining the individual’s chronological age by analysing the tooth development. The sexual dimorphism elicited by various teeth of the human dentition play a major role in sex determination of the individual. The various recent advances like- facial reconstruction, dental identification methods, tongue prints, ameloglyphics make forensic dentistry a convenient and an effective tool in human identification. Forensic dentistry should not only be restricted to the dentists but various team involved in investigations and justice should also be exposed to this arena to avoid any biased and negligent decision making.

<strong>Background: </strong>Forensic Dentistry, which is also referred to as Forensic Odontology is defined by James cotton as the branch of dentistry, which deals with proper handling, and examination of dental evidence and the proper evaluation and presentation of dental findings in the interest of justice. Teeth are most durable structures in the human body and have been found in many archeologicalsites or forensic cases, as only human remnants. Due to the low variability of dental maturity indicators, they have used for the estimation of chronological age in individuals. Age estimation using teeth play an important role in identification of humans in mass disasters and accidents. In addition, chronological age is important in most societies for school attendance, social benefits, employments and marriages. Morphological and radiological techniques are used for the estimation of age in adults. There are few radiological techniques which have been devised on American, European or French, Canadian population. These techniques need to be validated for Indian population by doing several studies in different parts of India. In the present study, an effort is made to compare two age estimation methods namely Cameriere Method and Kvaal’s method of individuals by non-destructive radiographic method. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Cameriere’s method was found to be more accurate for the current population than Kvaal’s method of radiographic determination.

Background: Forensic odontology (FO) has an important role to play in the field of forensic science to gather evidence for human identification. Dental records form an integral component of forensic evidence in this regard. Dental practitioners need to be aware of the legal significance of dental record keeping. They should be able to provide accurate information on which forensic evidence can be based. Aim: To assess the awareness regarding FO and dental record-keeping practices amongst dental partitioners in Pakistan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among dental practitioners to assess the awareness regarding FO and dental record-keeping in clinical practice. Results: A total of 380 responses were received. Results showed that only 2% of the respondents studied the subject of forensic dentistry at the undergraduate or postgraduate level. 88 % of the individuals were interested in receiving formal training in forensic dentistry and 96% recommended the subject of forensic dentistry to be introduced as a separate postgraduate training program in Pakistan. More than half of the respondents reported a lack of record-keeping in their clinical practice. Conclusions: Limited awareness was observed regarding FO among dental practitioners in Pakistan primarily due to lack of exposure to the subject. In terms of dental record keeping, a limited number of practitioners in our study reported adhering to it. Hence, there is a need to develop measures to promote awareness and knowledge about FO and dental record management in Pakistan. Keywords: Forensic odontology, awareness, education, dental records, dental identification.

An air disaster is a tragic event, usually brutal and unforeseeable, which often involves human and material losses. The investigation of such events requires extraordinary measures in order to apply state-of-the-art forensic technology, aiming to identify both the causes of the accident and the victims. Forensic dentistry is among the most important methods of identification, as it allows the use of techniques that can identify an individual based on the systematic study of corpses or bone remains, physiological and hereditary aspects, and, the specific variations of a person's teeth.
 The aim of this paper is to review the available elements that can be used within the field of forensic dentistry to identify corpses and bone remains in the event of an air disaster.

Introduction Accurate age data are always necessary in medicine and dentistry, and are also important to assess maturity and estimate age in a number of disciplines, such as forensic odontology, paediatric and preventive dentistry, orthodontics, etc. Aim This investigation determines the accuracy of dental age estimation and its comparison with chronological age by two methods: Demirjian's and Willems’. Materials and methods Tooth development was assessed in seven left mandibular teeth from 215 orthopantomograms (OPGs) belonging to healthy children aged 6–15 years selected by convenience sampling, from patients of the Sudha Rustagi College of Dental Sciences & Research, Faridabad, and were staged according to Demirjian's and Willems’ scales. The statistical analysis was performed using the unpaired ‘ t’-test and the correlation was analysed using Karl Pearson's correlation coefficients test. Results Overall, Willems’ method was found to be more accurate with a mean age overestimation of 0.36 years (SD = 0.38) in boys and 0.24 years (SD = 0.36) in girls, and Demirjian's method produced a mean overestimation of 0.66 years (SD = 0.41) in boys and 0.56 years (SD = 0.43) in girls, respectively. Also, correlation between the two methods revealed a high coefficient value, 0.9947 for boys and 0.9944 for girls ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Despite the favourable result of Willems’ method in comparison with Demirjian's method, this study demonstrated a high correlation coefficient between both chronological and obtained dental age, thus confirming their potential applicability in clinical practice and forensic dentistry.

Tongue print or lingual impression is a new biometric authentication method used in forensics. Every tongue has its own lingual impression, because of its unique shape and texture. Tongue print is the information carried on the exposed portion of the tongue, that is shape and texture all together. Many studies have been researched into preparing a proper algorithm for tongue image analysis. Digital photographs, lingual moulded impressions, rugoscopy, cheiloscopy, sublingual vein analysis, ultrasound, histological analysis are some of the methods of tongue print collection. Forensic dentistry deals with the proper handling, examination, and evaluation of dental evidence which will be presented in the interest of justice. With the increase in identity fraud and emphasis on security, there is an urgent need to identify humans locally and remotely on a routine basis. Hence newer advancements and research on the potential of tongue prints, as an authenticated forensic tool has to be done.

Indonesia is an archipelagic country bordered by tectonically active zones with intense seismicity and volcanism. This condition is often associated with a high-risk situation of disasters in Indonesia. Forensic identification is a necessary procedure to reveal an individual’s identity. An identity, including sex and age, is needed to build a conclusion of human identification. Dental age estimation is a subfield of forensic odontology which focuses on establishing an individual’s age. Tooth development, biochemical, and postformation changes are the parameters for estimating dental age. This review discusses the applicable dental age estimation method for children and adolescents in Indonesia. Several articles that have previously studied dental age estimation in Indonesia were reviewed for this manuscript. On reviewing these articles, it was found that the Demirjian method, the Willems method, and the Al Qahtani method are useful in this population with higher accuracy than other methods.

Background and objective: Age estimation is an important tool when dealing with human remains or undocumented minors. Although the skull, the skeleton or the hand-wrist are used in age estimation as maturity indicators, they often present a lack of good conditions for a correct identification or estimation. Few systematic reviews (SRs) have been recently published; therefore, this umbrella review critically assesses their level of evidence and provides a general, comprehensive view. Materials and methods: Considering the review question “What is the current evidence on age determination approaches in Forensic Dentistry?” an electronic database search was conducted in four databases (PubMed, Cochrane, WoS, LILACS) up to December 2022, focusing on SRs of age estimation through forensic dentistry procedures. The methodological quality was analyzed using the measurement tool to assess SRs criteria (AMSTAR2). Results: Eighteen SRs were included: five of critically low quality, six of low quality, three of moderate quality and four of high quality. The SRs posited that Willems’ method is more accurate and less prone to overestimation; most methods seem to be geographically sensitive; and 3D-imaging and artificial intelligence tools demonstrate high potential. Conclusions: The quality of evidence on age estimation using dental approaches was rated as low to moderate. Well-designed clinical trials and high-standard systematic reviews are essential to corroborate the accuracy of the different procedures for age estimation in forensic dentistry.

In forensic dentistry, teeth are crucial for assessing age, as they remain intact even after death. Various regression models, such as polynomial regression, new robust regression equations, multiple linear regression models, and partial least squares linear regression, are used to determine age. The pulp/tooth area ratio (AR) of maxillary canines is a direct link between age and the subject's age, making multiple regressions the most reliable method. Teeth hardness and invariant changes in their structure also strengthen teeth's applicability in estimating age. These statistical methods are suitable for both forensic and clinical applications, making them suitable for both forensic and clinical applications.

Subject. One of the urgent problems of modern health care is to provide quality and effective dental care. The percentage of complications as a result of deficiencies in the provision of dental care, leading to the development of serious pathologies and deteriorating the quality of life of patients is growing every year. High rates of emergence of new technologies in dentistry, new dental materials and equipment do not always allow each practicing dentist to achieve a high professional level of assistance when working with new methods and means of treatment of caries and its complications. In this regard, endodontic care is not provided at the proper level. 
 Goal. A retrospective analysis of medical documentation (comprehensive examinations) was conducted to identify the incidence of medical care deficiencies and adverse outcomes in endodontic dentistry.
 Methodology. A retrospective analysis of 19 complex forensic examinations was carried out to identify the frequency of deficiencies in medical care and adverse outcomes in endodontic treatment of teeth.
 Results. It was found that the most common shortcomings in the endodontic treatment of teeth are the lack of x-rays before and after endodontic treatment, removal of filling material for the apex of the tooth, non-compliance with the rules of asepsis and antiseptics in the treatment of patients, unjustified removal of dental pulp.
 Findings. A retrospective analysis of adverse outcomes in endodontic dentistry according to comprehensive examinations revealed significant deficiencies at the stages of diagnosis and treatment, which led to medical errors and further legal proceedings.

Introduction: Forensic Odontology (OF) is a branch of dentistry that deals with the legal field. Forensics is concerned with the identification process, which can be done with dental autopsies. Dental autopsy is in the form of a postmortem examination of the cadaver teeth to determine the cause of death and identify the victim. Discussion: The process of conducting an autopsy is regulated in laws, government regulations, and a circular letter of the minister of health that explains the rules and types of autopsy actions. The process of implementing dental autopsy must be carried out gradually and regularly. In addition, good visibility is needed to provide accurate results and maintain data accuracy, so specific techniques such as incision and excision methods are needed. Completeness of antemortem and postmortem data is also needed so that the identification process can run properly and precisely. Conclusion: Forensic odontology plays an important role in identifying unknown bodies through the estimation of age, gender, race, and abnormalities present in the teeth. This makes dental autopsy key in the current process of identifying and presenting dental evidence. However, there are still many public views that are still inaccurate and have the potential to hinder the identification process in forensic autopsy.

Aims: The aims of this study were to assess dental students’ knowledge and attitude with regard to forensic odontology and to determine students’ opinions in the current dental curriculum. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among dental students at one of the main dental colleges in the United Arab Emirates; only dental students on their final year and internship were invited to participate. An online self-administrated questionnaire was used, which consisted of a set of 15 questions. All the data were entered into Microsoft Excel and then transferred into SPSS. Results: A total of 276 dental students contributed to this study. The highest percentage of correct responses stated by the students was related to the estimation of individuals’ age and estimation of dental age based on radiograph and eruption status. However, there were clear deficiencies in students’ knowledge in relation to other aspects such as gender identification and lip-print, palatal rugae as an indicator in forensic identification. A high percentage (84.8%) had no formal education in the field of forensic odontology. Moreover, 93.1% of the students agreed that their present knowledge about forensic odontology is inadequate. Most of the participants (95.0%) agreed upon the necessity of adding a module on forensic odontology to the current curriculum. Conclusion: Our study revealed inadequate knowledge among dental students in relation to forensic odontology. This lack of knowledge among them attributed to the lack of formal training, and lack of forensic odontology as a part of dental curriculum. Forensic odontology must be added to the undergraduate curriculum as a separate subject to enrich students’ knowledge and awareness toward medico-legal cases in their future careers.

 Methods: This study includes 33 reports from alleged torture victims (4 females, 29 males) who have been examined by a forensic odontologist at the Copenhagen School of Dentistry in the years 1997-2011. The material available consisted of copies of medical forensic reports and the forensic odontological reports including x-rays. Background data, anamnestic data and results of the forensic odontological clinical examinations were registered as well as the conclusion of the clinical examinations.
 Findings: The forensic odontological clinical examinations were complicated by the presence of unspecific injuries and various degrees of active oral pathology. In 27 of the cases it was concluded that the findings were consistent with the alleged torture, in six of the cases the findings were concluded to be highly consistent with the alleged torture.

Full textAbstract:
Forensic odontology is one of the most reliable methods of identifying victims because it can withstand extreme environments and for a long time. One of the applications of the forensic branch is age estimation. One method of estimating age is the Cameriere method. This method uses a linear regression formula to calculate the estimated age in children by measuring the open apical using a panoramic radiograph. This study aimed to determine the difference between age estimation using the Cameriere method and chronological age in Radiodiagnostic Laboratory of the Faculty of Dentistry Brawijaya University patients. This study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design 60 samples aged 5-15 years. Tooth measurements were calculated using the Image J application and then entered into Excel Program to calculate the estimated age using the Cameriere method. The Wilcoxon test showed there was no significant difference between the age estimation using the Cameriere method and the chronological age of the Radiodiagnostic Laboratory of the Faculty of Dentistry Brawijaya University patients (p> 0.05). Thus Cameriere could be used as a way to estimate the age of children aged 5-15 years in the Radiodiagnostic Laboratory of the Faculty of Dentistry Brawijaya University.
