Odontology in Forensic Examination

Öz

Individualization and age determination through morphological study of teeth postmortem or antemortem has substantiated its importance in our society and jurisprudence for some decades, but its radiographic study, as conceived, has not been done exhaustively to extract its importance in medicolegal science. Carious teeth whose percentage in population is quite high docs not follow Gus/aJson (1950) and Dalitz (1962) age determination regression line based on wear and tear of nonnal teeth. Study through intraoral X-ray photography of normal and carious teeth and stereomicroscopic examination of some ground sections of teeth were carried out in an endeavour to find out age, sex, individual characters, dental setup of the person concerned.
