    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Science
    • Odontology
    • Evidence Collection

    Background:

    • Traditional methods for collecting dental evidence can be time-consuming and may not preserve fine details.
    • The need for efficient and accurate forensic techniques is paramount in criminal investigations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the powder and brush method for lifting tooth prints.
    • To determine the advantages of this technique for forensic applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Adaptation of the standard powder and brush technique, typically used for fingerprint lifting.
    • Application of the modified technique to the body surface of both living and deceased individuals to capture tooth prints.

    Main Results:

    • Successful lifting of detailed tooth prints from victim surfaces using the adapted method.
    • Demonstration of the technique's capability on both living and deceased subjects.

    Conclusions:

    • The powder and brush method is a valuable tool for forensic odontologists, medical examiners, and evidence technicians.
    • This technique offers significant advantages in terms of ease of use, speed, and accuracy of detail for dental evidence collection.
