Area of Science:

  • Forensic Odontology
  • Digital Forensics

Background:

  • Bite mark analysis is crucial in forensic investigations.
  • Traditional methods involve photographs, impressions, and overlays for comparison.
  • Advancements in technology have improved bite mark analysis accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the precision of the ForensicIQ computer program.
  • To assess its effectiveness in comparing bite marks with suspect dentition.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing precise photographs and various impression materials.
  • Comparing bite mark data with suspect's dentition via examinations and overlays.
  • Employing the ForensicIQ computer program for advanced analysis.

Main Results:

  • The study investigates the accuracy of ForensicIQ in bite mark comparison.
  • Results will determine if the software offers enhanced precision.

Conclusions:

  • Bite mark analysis can exclude suspects but should not solely determine guilt.
  • ForensicIQ may provide a more accurate tool for suspect exclusion in forensic odontology.
