FORENSIC SCIENCE  \nGAZETTE  \nFrom The SOUTHWESTERN INSTITUTE OF FORENSIC SCIENCES Dallas Texas  \n# FORENSIC DENTISTRY:INTRODUCTORYHIGHLIGHTS REGARDING A RELATIVELYNEW ASPECT OF FORENSIC SCIENCE*二Part I\n\n-Irvin M.Sopher,D.D.S.,M.D.  \nIn recent years,the accelerated application ofscientific methodology to criminalistics and to the fieldof law has led to the creation and subsequentrecognition of a mul.tude of special study disciplineswhich comprise the forensic sciences.Forensic dentistry,the application of dentistry to the legal structure,isrelatively new in the forensic science area.The primaryfocus of forensic dentistry is upon identification ofunknown remains by means of the dentition.The entityof forensic dentistry occupies a primary niche within thetotal spectrum of methods applied to medicolegalidentification.By the very nature of this organized bodyof expertise,it is evident that the subject matter ispertinent not only to the dental practitioner but tomany other members of the scientific and legalcommunity as well.It must be realized therefore,thatforensic dentistry is intimately related to the interests ofthe law enforcement officer,the forensic laboratoryscientist,  the physician-or lay-coroner,theanthropologist,the trial lawyer and,of course,theforensic pathologist.  \nThe recent,rapid growth of the medicalsubspecialty of forensic pathology in this country hasfostered the expansion of the allied field of forensicodontology.With an expected increase in communityawareness of the services of the forensic pathologist,thedemand for these medical specialists will furtheremphasize and catalyze the development of the field offorensic dentistry.Forensic dentistry,broadly defined asthe application of the science of dentistry to the field oflaw,represents one of many fields which comprise theforensic sciences.Forensic dentistry is synonymous andinterchangeable with the designation,forensicodontology.  \nThe entity of forensic dentistry comprises fourmajor areas of interest:  \n1.  Dental identification of the unknown body:Byfar,this area of the field represents practically theentire body of dental case material.  \n2.Bite mark comparison:The analysis of bite markevidence comprises a very small but verysignificant aspect of the field of forensic dentistry.  \n*Excerpts from the author's textbook,FORENSIC DENTISTRY,1976-.Courtesy of Charles C.Thomas,Publlsher,Springfield,III.  \n3.Trauma and the oral tissues:This area involves theinterpretation of oral injury and its application tolegal matters.  \n4.Dental malpractice and negligence:By definition,the opinion of the dentist who is an expertwitness pertaining to such matters representsanother segment of forensic dentistry.  \n# The Dentist As A Member Of The Forensic ScienceTeam\n\nBy virtue of the existing legislation governing thecontrol and disposition of the dead body,the forensicdentist must function under the aegis of the establishedmedical examiner or coroner serving his geographic areaof interest.The dentist must remember that the field offorensic dentistry represents an unknown commodity inmost areas of the country.This statement especiallyapplies to coroner jurisdictions.The established medicalexaminer systems have generally evolved within andsurrounding the larger metropolitan centers of ourcountry.Such metropolitan medical examiner officescurrently represent the locations wherein the majority ofthe nation's forensic pathologists deal with medicolegalsituations as their primary occupation,an occupationwhich represents the culmination of several years oftraining focused upon the compiex medicolegalproblems encountered in society every day.As a resultof his specialized training and experience,the forensicpathologist is quite cognizant of the interaction betweenhis field of endeavor and the other areas included in thetotality of forensic science.The forensic pathologist ormedical examiner is well aware of the value andapplication of forensic dentistry.One appreciates thisfact when","cbCaioB9IhawxF4p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioB9IhawxF4p","pdf",3122729,"English","# FORENSIC DENTISTRY: Introductory Highlights Regarding a Relatively New Aspect of Forensic Science\n## Part I\n# The Dentist As A Member Of The Forensic Science Team\n## Four major areas of interest","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary focus of forensic dentistry?\",\"answer\":\"Forensic dentistry primarily focuses on identifying unknown remains by means of the dentition.\"},{\"question\":\"Which four major areas of interest does the text list for forensic dentistry?\",\"answer\":\"They are dental identification of unknown bodies, bite mark comparison, trauma and oral tissues, and dental malpractice and negligence expert opinions.\"},{\"question\":\"How should a forensic dentist work within the legal system?\",\"answer\":\"The dentist must function under the medical examiner or coroner for the geographic area and take the initiative to make local officials aware so expertise can be utilized when needed.\"}]","FORENSIC DENTISTRY - Introductory Highlights Regarding a Relatively New Aspect of Forensic Science - Part I | PDF",1790728335,23]
