Comparison of bitemarks in foodstuffs by computer imaging: a case report.
Police called to investigate a fire in a snackbar in Mount Gambier, South Australia, discovered four cakes with characteristics marks apparently produced by human teeth. These marks were examined and compared with the teeth of a suspect arsonist. The comparison was made by computer imaging analysis and a remarkable similarity in arch shape was observed.
