Forensic Odontology Overview

Forensic odontology is a subspecialty of dentistry that has its main focus on the identification of deceased victims. In simplest terms, there are two aims in forensic dentistry. The first one is the identification of the dead, and second is the identification of an assailant who has used his or her teeth as a weapon. But how? Let's see.

Let's start with corpse identification. Teeth can be used to identify corpses, as no two oral cavities are alike, and teeth are unique to an individual. The dental evidence of the deceased recovered from the crime scene is compared with ante-mortem records for identification. This is used in cases such as mass casualties, burn victims, or severely disfigured/decomposed corpses.

Forensic odontology can also be used to determine things like age, race, and sex. In cases where there is no blood or other DNA sources, teeth can also be used.

Age is determined by looking at X-rays of the permanent teeth and tooth roots within the bone. The crown of a tooth forms first, followed by the root, and scientists estimate age by comparing the stage of tooth formation in the X-rays and bone with known dental growth standards.

Race is found by comparing the shapes of the different teeth. Determining race using teeth isn't easy, but using common dental characteristics as indicators (like Caucasoids usually having narrow “v-” shaped arch giving rise to crowding of teeth) we can get a good guess.

To determine sex, we rely on sexual dimorphism. Generally, male teeth have significantly greater quantities of dentine than females, while female teeth are found to have greater enamel thickness than male teeth. This isn't always fully accurate, but when combined with other factors, it helps give an idea.

None of these are perfect, but they can help give us a good approximate description, which is better than none.

Now, Bite Mark analysis.

There's 4 steps to bite mark analysis. Photographs, saliva swabbing, impressions, and tissue samples.

In order to make a good comparison, a balanced, color, scale photograph should be made of the defendant’s teeth (which can be used for testimony in court) and of the victim’s bite. Because the dental expert will need to know the scale shown in the picture, some method of measurement (such as a ruler or tape measure) photographed alongside the bite mark and the defendant’s teeth is necessary. A plaster cast of the defendant’s dental impressions can also be used to prepare a plastic overlay. The plastic overlay is used to mark the points of contact and forms a representation of defendant’s bite marks or a pattern of the cutting edges of defendant’s teeth. This representation can then be compared with a scaled photograph of the bite mark on the victim as a means of determining common points of identification.

If the bite area was swabbed and saliva recovered, and it was a positive match to the subject, that could help identify the assailant, but it's not often that DNA can be recovered.

Bite analysis has its issues, as tooth marks are not always transfered accurately, and sometimes there's not enough difference in bite marks to tell reliably. Bitemark analysis is more often used for excluding someone as a potential assailant. Say the mark shows imprint of fully intact frontal incisors, and the proposed biter does not have all their front teeth. This means that the person being accused is not the probable assailant. This could also be used to tell if the bite was self-inflicted. But bite mark analysis is often not admissible due to it having been found to be unreliable in some cases. People have been rightly and falsely convicted because of it, and it can be an unreliable method for forensic examination.

As with all areas of forensics, it's under dispute for its reputability. Bite mark analysists have been shown to be unable to consistently agree on whether the bitemark was even human. Even minor distortions could lead to the mark matching a number of people.

And here's a little bit of interesting history I came across in my travels :)

There are many "first" uses of forensic odontology in history across the web, but as far as I can find the first documented use of teeth for identification began during 66 AD, with the Agrippina and Lollia Pauline case. (There's a bit to it, find it here.)

Recorded forensic identification in India started in 1193, where Jai Chand, a great Indian monarchy, was destroyed by Muhammad's army, and Jai Chand, Raja of Kanauji was murdered and he was identified by his false teeth.

Dr Ascor Amoedo is reputed as the father of forensic odontology and documented the first case of dental identification in which many individuals lost their lives in a disaster. 126 people were charred to death due to a fire accident in Paris 1897, and were identified using their teeth.

In 1979, a double bite mark played an important role in convicting Ted Bundy of murder as he'd bitten one of his last victims.

Truth About Options For Dental Treatments At NHS For Orthodontic Malocclusions.

There are several types of orthodontic treatments for dental malocclusions. But, first, we should know about the total orthodontics system and the types of orthodontic treatments that are available in the market. We shall discuss the orthodontic treatment you can get at NHS or National Health Service too.

The 3 Levels of Orthodontics

1) Appearance of Straight Teeth is the first and basic level of orthodontics.

2)Appearance and Bite problem rectification.

3)Appearance and Jaw Alignment correction.

Process Of The Orthodontics System

There are 3 phases of general orthodontic treatment. This includes the Planning Stage, the Active Phase, and the Retention Phase. So, first, you plan and then you have your braces.  They attach to your teeth in order to correct improper teeth alignment. And, in the end, you get orthodontic retainers.

Types Of Dental Malocclusions

The profile dental malformations include several aspects. It includes dental skeletal malocclusion, Local malocclusions of incisors, premolars, and canines, Maxillary incisor protrusion, Maxillary incisors retrusion, and Bimaxillary protrusion. As a whole, orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that is concerned with the development and also management of abnormalities and irregularities of the jaws, teeth, and face. Dental malocclusion or irregularity in the teeth may arise from several causes such as extra teeth, missing teeth, or general causes like disproportionate growth of one or both jaws.

Braces And Its Problems

It is common for your teeth to ache because braces are first fitted and are adjusted at appointments. You may require to take medicines in case of severe pain. Orthodontic appliances usually press on the inside of your lips and also the cheeks. The use of orthodontic wax, in this case, will be very helpful, especially when placed over the part of the brace causing the irritation. It is very important to check your braces every day in order to ensure that it is intact and have no breakages. Sometimes, breakages can slow down your dental treatment and can cause unwanted tooth movement.

 Treatment Options At NHS

Orthodontic treatment can be found in NHS hospitals in the UK also. The NHS orthodontic departments in the UK have an excellent popular reputation. This is for high-quality treatment, research, and training. They fit different types of braces in order to help correct dental irregularities and the patients’ bites. NHS is able to accept patients for consultation and advice, who are kids and teens or have serious dental damage. So, in the case of adults, only those who have more severe orthodontics problems can be accepted for treatment, here.

NHS treatment is available for grade 4 orthodontic cases which are considered health issues. NHS treatment is also available for grade 5 orthodontic cases which is equally a severe oral health problem. Grade 3 orthodontic cases are judged on an individual basis. NHS treatment is also available if the appearance of the teeth, jaw, or face is of serious concern.

NHS offers different types of treatments for patients with very severely irregular teeth, multiple missing teeth, impacted teeth, cleft lip, abnormal palate formations, and abnormal jaw position. But because of high demand, at the NHS, there can be a long waiting list. There is a rating system also, known as the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need or IOTN, which is used to assess eligibility for NHS treatment.

You may search the internet with terms like orthodontics near me. After you choose a dentist, you need to make an appointment for a consultation. However, in this context, NHS treats you similarly. You get a consultation appointment with one of the consultant orthodontists. Then, a comprehensive orthodontic assessment and its report is made. The consultant discusses the results of the assessment with you. This may require about 2 hours approx. But, remember that at NHS, treatment is only offered to some patients who have complex or serious dental problems and who require multidisciplinary management. And, all consultations are reported back to the referring dentist. You can also visit the dental clinic of Belurorthodontics in the UK. Belurorthodontics provides treatment options for NHS too.

Do Orthodontists Clean Teeth?

Before you receive any orthodontic treatment, you need to have your teeth and gums cleaned. Having plaque and tartar before starting wearing braces may lead to issues during the treatment, such as decay and gum disease. An orthodontist may not provide regular cleaning like the twice-a-year cleanings; however, the orthodontist will clean your teeth before receiving braces. Talk to uSmile Orthodontics about teeth cleaning before orthodontia.

Prepping the Teeth before Orthodontia

Your teeth should be very clean to ensure your braces attach properly to the teeth. In addition to flossing and brushing at home beforehand, a nearby orthodontist in Phoenix, AZ, will ensure that your teeth are clean by using a polishing paste, then affixing your braces.

If you have not received a professional dental cleaning procedure like prophylaxis, scaling and planing, or dental debridement, you should get it a week before your orthodontic treatment appointment.  

Benefits of Pre Orthodontia Teeth Cleaning

Cleaning the teeth before orthodontia ensures that the restorations fit properly. Braces fixed on teeth with plaque or tartar will likely become loose much easier. Wearing braces on teeth that are not properly cleaned encourages the development of dental issues like cavities and gum disease.

Visit our orthodontist near you to get more information about orthodontia and the pre-treatment procedure for the treatment.

[ods-aligners]

With each coming session, an increasing number of individuals are visiting their orthodontists. For generations, there's been a stereotype that orthodontic treatment should only be done on children and adolescents, but this is finally changing. Developments in orthodontic technologies can be credited for a large part of this. Many individuals are hesitant to use traditional metal braces because they fear it would harm their sense of professionalism. ODS Clear aligners, on the other hand, can alleviate many of these difficulties while simultaneously offering effective treatment. Clear aligners are just what you require if you're a grownup who wants to repair your routine oral concerns. Luckily, ODS has a range of the best personalised aligners for you. Here are a few reasons why you should visit our certified dental/orthodontic team and get yourself ODS aligners. 1. Less Soreness The fact that clear orthodontics are constructed of clear plastic is what makes them so appealing. This implies that they shouldn't irritate the gums or teeth like steel braces do. Even if you have any discomfort the first few days as you are accustomed to donning your aligners. You probably wouldn't even notice they're there after that. With aligners, some people must adapt their speech slightly, same as how they modify their implants. But, once again, it's only a matter of time. Clear aligners are generally quite comfortable and supportive and demand very little adjusting. 2. There are no dietary constraints Whenever a person with braces sits down for a meal, a lengthy list must run across their minds. They must avoid eating corn, bubblegum, or hardened sweets in order to avoid food becoming trapped between their braces. People who use clear aligners, on the other hand, do not have to be concerned about something like this. Since you always remove your aligners before eating, you have no limitations on how much you can and cannot eat. Flossing and cleaning are indeed facilitated using clear aligners since they can be removed. The most important guideline to remember when using clear aligners is to keep them in your mouth for approx. 20 hours daily. You could wind up extending your treatment duration if you choose not to. You must only remove your aligners when eating, brushing and flossing your teeth. It's also a smart option to floss daily shortly after you consume to keep the gaps among your trays as small as possible. 3. It boosts your self-esteem The reality that clear aligners are virtually invisible may be the most prevalent reason for having them. You can be self-conscious at the workplace if you have dental problems or holes. And having metal braces is unlikely to make you feel any easier regarding your situation. Here is where ODS aligners can be really beneficial. When you wear aligners, you should not only be successful in improving your dental alignment, but you will also not have to care what other people think of your traditional braces. Most folks probably wouldn't even notice you're getting orthodontic treatment when you're wearing them. 4. Treats the majority of alignment issues Clear aligners are an excellent treatment option for a wide range of dental mal-alignment concerns. Whether you have a few buck teeth, underbites, misaligned teeth, or other problems, clear aligners may be able to help. The following are the most prevalent concerns that clear aligners are used to treat:

crooked teeth

overbite

underbite

bite open

. Treatment times are shortened

Clear aligners normally require the same level of time as traditional braces. You could also use rapid periodontal treatments in conjunction with the aligner therapy to quicken the procedure all the more.

As you can see, there seem to be numerous reasons why one might wish to receive clear aligners. And, after considering the aforementioned, it's easy to see why transparent aligners have been so common recently. If you're thinking about obtaining transparent aligners for home, make sure you talk to your orthodontist about it.
