title: Human bite marks in forensic dentistry.
abstract: The scientific examination of bite-mark evidence is fascinating and challenging. As the science continues to evolve with more precise and demonstrative methods of performing the investigations and development of research data on the individuality of human dentition, the value of bite-mark analysis in the legal system will continue to increase. A quality bite-mark injury pattern examined properly using validated scientific methodologies can assist society greatly in applying laws fairly.
