Abstract

Forensic dentistry plays a major role in the identification of those individuals who cannot be identified visually or by other means. The unique nature of our dental anatomy and the placement of custom restorations ensure accuracy when the techniques are correctly employed. This article briefs an overview of some of the traditional and upcoming techniques in this fascinating field.
