    Area of Science:

    • Forensic Odontology
    • Bite Mark Analysis
    • Legal Medicine

    Context:

    • Bite mark analysis is a forensic technique used to identify or exclude individuals based on dental characteristics.
    • Establishing the evidential value of bite marks requires standardized procedures for documentation and comparison.
    • Legal systems increasingly rely on scientific evidence for criminal investigations.

    Purpose:

    • To present criteria for evaluating bite marks as evidence in criminal cases.
    • To analyze the effectiveness of bite mark analysis in legal proceedings.
    • To highlight the significance of forensic-stomatologic evaluations in establishing guilt or innocence.

    Summary:

    • The study outlines criteria for using bite marks as evidence, emphasizing the need for identifiable marks and 1:1 photographic comparisons with suspect dental impressions.
