ABO blood group determination in teeth is most reliable using pulp tissue. Dentin shows limited success, while enamel results are debatable for forensic and anthropological applications.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic odontology
  • Anthropology
  • Immunogenetics

Background:

  • Accurate ABO blood group determination is crucial in forensic and anthropological investigations.
  • Teeth, particularly their hard tissues, are potential sources for DNA and blood group analysis.
  • Previous studies have explored various dental tissues for blood group typing with mixed results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of ABO blood group determination in dental pulp, dentin, and enamel.
  • To compare the reliability of blood group typing across different tooth components.
  • To assess the influence of post-extraction time on the viability of blood group antigens in teeth.

Main Methods:

  • ABO blood group typing was performed on dental pulp, dentin, and enamel from 35 human teeth.

  • The adsorption-elution technique was employed for blood group determination.
  • A blood-stained compress from the extraction wound served as the reference sample.
  • Teeth were analyzed at two intervals: within 6 weeks and 6-10 months post-extraction.

    • Main Results:

    • Blood group determination from dental pulp yielded reliable results.
    • Blood group typing from dentin showed limited accuracy.
    • Enamel proved to be of debatable value for ABO blood group determination.
    • Similar outcomes were observed in both early and later post-extraction examination groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental pulp is a viable and reliable source for ABO blood group determination.
    • Dentin and enamel present significant challenges for accurate ABO blood group typing.
    • The adsorption-elution technique is effective for pulp-based blood group analysis in forensic contexts.
