Digital Applications in Forensic Odontology
Advances in Digital Crime Forensics and Cyber Terrorism, 2011Co-Authors: Robert E. Barsley, David R. Senn, Thomas J. David, Franklin D. Wright, Gregory S. GoldenAbstract:Forensic Odontology or Forensic dentistry is the use of dental expertise, dental findings, and dental facts in legal proceedings. The principal efforts of dentists in this regard are geared toward establishing the identity of unknown human remains or verifying the identity of visually unrecognizable human remains. The digital revolution has impacted all aspects of Forensic Odontology. This chapter will discuss the impact on person identification through dental means, dental identification in mass or disaster victim incidents, establishing the age of an unknown individual or human remains through dental examination, digital photography in dentistry and Forensic Odontology, and the use of digital methods in the analysis and comparison of bite mark evidence.

History of Forensic Odontology and DVI in Australia
Forensic and Legal Dentistry, 2013Co-Authors: Jane Taylor, Russell Lain, William O’reillyAbstract:Forensic Odontology played a vital and historical role in an Australian homicide in 1934. Known as the Albury Pyjama Girl Case, it attracted worldwide interest for many years and illustrated the potential and the importance of dental evidence in the identification process. On the 1st of September of that year, the partly burned and battered body of a young woman clad in pajamas was found in a roadside culvert near Albury, NSW. This discovery led to one of the longest investigations in the history of Australian crime. Two simple errors by a local dentist with no previous experience in Forensic Odontology, who was called in by the police to examine the teeth of the victim, resulted in a delay in identification for 10 years. When identification by dental comparison was finally achieved in 1944, the crime was quickly solved and the woman’s husband was brought to trial for murder. The application of dental science for identification in those days was on an ad hoc basis, and individual dentists, usually with no experience or training in Forensic matters, were expected to assist as needed. The Pyjama Girl Case vividly demonstrated the serious consequences of this practice (Brown 1984).

Development of the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology disaster victim identification Forensic Odontology guide.
The Journal of forensic odonto-stomatology, 2009Co-Authors: Jane TaylorAbstract:The need for documented procedures and protocols are important in every specialist group to ensure a consistent service to the community. They provide guidance to members of the specialist group about responsibilities and appropriate practices, and confidence to the community that the services are of the highest possible standard. In a Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) incident, by enabling the process to be audited, they also serve to ensure that identifications are reliable. Following the Bali Bombings of 2002 and the 2004 Asian Tsunami the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology recognised the need for a practice guide to assist the management of their members in DVI incidents. 31 members of the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology participated in the development of a guideline document for Disaster Victim Identification using a Delphi based model. The advantage of using the iterative Delphi process is that it encouraged participants to think about the processes used in the Forensic Odontology aspects of a DVI incident and their expectations of a guiding document. The document developed as a result of this project is comprehensive in coverage and places the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology at the vanguard of professionalism in the Forensic Odontology and DVI community.

a brief history of Forensic Odontology and disaster victim identification practices in australia
The Journal of forensic odonto-stomatology, 2009Co-Authors: Jane TaylorAbstract:we consider Forensic Odontology to be a specialised and reliable method of identification of the deceased, particularly in multiple fatality incidents. While this reputation has been gained from the application of Forensic Odontology in both single identification and disaster situations over a number of years, the professional nature of the discipline and its practices have evolved only recently. This paper summarises some of early uses of Forensic Odontology internationally and in Australia and discusses the development of both Forensic Odontology and Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) practices in each of the states and territories of Australia. The earliest accounts of the use of Forensic Odontology in Australia date to the 1920's and 30's, and were characterised by inexperienced practitioners and little procedural formality. An organised and semi-formal service commenced in most states during the 1960's although its use by police forces was spasmodic. Today the service provided by qualified and experienced Forensic odontologists is highly professional and regularly utilised by police and coronial services.

Development of the Disaster Victim Identification Forensic Odontology Guide for the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology
2009Co-Authors: Jane TaylorAbstract:Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)%%%%Identification of the victims of a mass fatality incident is considered a basic human right.Forensic Odontology frequently makes a significant contribution to the identification process following major disasters, and is considered a primary identifier in the Interpol Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) Guidelines. Many authors have indicated that to achieve identification with dignity and respect requires practical guidelines and standard operating procedures. No internationally accepted guidelines currently exist for the practice of Forensic Odontology in DVI situations. This report documents the development of a comprehensive practice guide for use by Australian Forensic odontologists in a mass fatality incident. To understand the value of this document in a professional context the project also looked at the development and application of Forensic Odontology in multiple fatality incidents in Australia. This evolution has seen Forensic Odontology grow from a spasmodically used ad-hoc service to the consistent professional service delivered by practitioners today. The research question addressed in this project was “Is the Delphi technique is an appropriate tool to assist the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology to develop a set of guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures for Disaster Victim Identification practices”? Thirty one members of the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology and four members of various Australian police services and the private disaster management sector participated in the project. The participants set the level of consensus against which they wished to work and took 4 rounds to reach agreement on the contents of the document. The resultant document, the “Disaster Victim Identification Forensic Odontology Guide” is comprehensive in coverage, meets many of the criteria established to define quality and places the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology at the vanguard of professionalism in the Forensic Odontology community, and confirms the Delphi technique was an appropriate tool to assist in the development of a set of guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures for Disaster Victim Identification practices.

dental practitioners are they real patrons of Forensic Odontology
Journal of Indian Academy of Forensic Medicine, 2019Co-Authors: Kusum Singal, Rohit Kadian, Sunil Singh, Preeti Narwal, Neelkamal SharmaAbstract:Forensic Odontology nowadays became a developing science and is of fantastic importance to society. It's necessary that dental practitioners must have knowledge of Forensics. The aim of study was to evaluate the present status of consciousness of Forensics among the dental practitioners of Rohtak city and surrounding areas. Study was conducted among 100 randomly selected dentists practicing in Rohtak and the surrounding areas. Data was collected in a custom fashion by way of a questionnaire comprising 21 questions regarding knowledge of Forensic dentistry. 36.5% of the dental practitioners don't have a notion that DNA analysis can be performed from tooth pulp, about 85% dental practitioners were not aware that they might testify as a professional witness at the court of law enforcement. Ninety six percent practitioners haven't managed any Forensic case during their practice. The number of dentists having an instruction for the collection, preservation and presentation of dental evidence in court is even less than 1 percent. It had been concluded from the analysis that dental practitioners from the Rohtak along with other surrounding areas don't possess the adequate knowledge of Forensic Odontology.

guidelines in Forensic Odontology legal aspects
Forensic Science International, 2006Co-Authors: Yvo VermylenAbstract:The task of the Forensic dentist is ruled by an obligation to be diligent and prudent. If guidelines should exist which are recognised by the dental Forensic community, they will probably be used to judge his work, even if guidelines are only considered as recommendations. The questions to be answered are: who issued these guidelines and are they conform to evidence-based Forensic Odontology.
