This study introduces a novel 3D approach for bite mark analysis using forensic 3D/CAD supported photogrammetry (FPHG) and 3D surface scanning. This method overcomes 2D limitations, offering distortion-free, accurate 3D documentation and analysis for improved forensic identification.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Odontology
  • Digital Imaging
  • 3D Metrology

Background:

  • Bite mark identification relies on dentition individuality for matching.
  • Current 2D analysis methods distort 3D dental information.
  • Accurate 3D documentation is crucial for forensic bite mark analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new 3D documentation, analysis, and visualization approach for bite mark identification.
  • To introduce forensic 3D/CAD supported photogrammetry (FPHG) and 3D surface scanning for bite mark analysis.
  • To demonstrate the advantages of 3D analysis over traditional 2D methods in a real case.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized forensic 3D/CAD supported photogrammetry (FPHG) for bite mark documentation.
  • Employed a 3D surface scanner to capture detailed dental cast data.

  • Performed metric and topographic analysis in 3D space, comparing bite marks and dental casts.

    • Main Results:

    • The FPHG approach provides distortion-free 3D documentation, unlike standard photography.
    • The method allows for accurate metric measurements and orientation in 3D space.
    • Topographical 3D features of teeth and their interaction with skin were analyzed in 3D.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented 3D approach offers a significant advancement in bite mark analysis accuracy.
    • This method preserves crucial 3D information lost in 2D analysis.
    • 3D analysis, particularly of tooth topography, is vital for accurate forensic identification, especially for anterior teeth.
