Advances in forensic odontology have led to improvements in dental identification for individual cases as well as in disaster victim identification (DVI). New and updated technologies mean advances in bitemark analysis and age estimation. Growth in the field has strengthened missing persons’ networks leading to more and faster identifications of unidentified individuals. A product of the American Society of Forensic Odontology, the Manual of Forensic Odontology, Fifth Edition provides comprehensive and up-to-date information involving all facets of forensic dentistry and explores critical issues relating to the scientific principles supporting the field’s evaluations and conclusions. New information in the Fifth Edition includes Scientific principles and the need for more and better research in the field Oral and maxillofacial radiographic features of forensic interest Forensic pathology and its ties to forensic odontology New techniques and improved technologies for age estimation Advances in bitemark evidence management Animal bitemarks National and international forensic dental organizations Tips for becoming involved in forensic odontology The manual has been an important source of forensic dentistry information for more than 20 years. This new edition is edited by a past president of the American Board of Forensic Odontology and a past Chair of the Odontology Section of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Expanded and enhanced with extensive color illustrations, this volume is designed to provide essential information based on sound scientific principles for experienced forensic odontologists and for those new to the discipline.

The teaching of Forensic Odontology to Graduate students taking the Diploma in Forensic Odontology course in the India, coupled with the interest in the subject among dental students, Dentists, forensic physicians and police scenes-of- crimes investigators, and the increasing recognition by the courts of the value of dental evidence have stimulated the making of this book. It is hoped that this book will serve as an introduction to the various aspects of the subject that require a practical approach and also provide useful background knowledge for those faced with attendance in court. It is not intended that this text should replace or update the numerous works on forensic odontology, but serve as a complementary book dealing with those aspect of the subject requiring a “how to do it’ approach for those who wish to make a start in this field, develop a greater understanding of the needs of the field. Each topic indicates the most useful references for further study and suggests further reading material to guide the enquiring mind. A Dentist can undertake many of the procedures required in forensic odontology using equipment normally available in the dental surgery and laboratory, provide guidance in undertaking these procedures, with additional information on techniques that may require reference to a suitably equipped institute. With the decrease in restorative dentistry, age assessment, Radiographic approaches will be of increasing importance in the identification process. This difficult subject has received a different approach in order to encourage further reading and assist in selecting a suitable method. …Sumanta Kumar Kolay
