This textbook provides an in-depth exploration of forensic odontology, a specialized field of forensic science that applies dental knowledge to legal investigations. It emphasizes the role of human dentition in identifying unknown individuals and solving cases involving age estimation, bite mark analysis, and mass fatality disasters. The book offers an overview of the historical development of forensic odontology, its applications, and the importance of dental record-keeping and forensic photography. Tailored for educational purposes, the text is designed to engage undergraduate and postgraduate students in oral pathology, oral medicine, and forensic medicine. It incorporates case studies, color photographs, and guidelines to enhance understanding and practical application. The textbook aims to establish forensic odontology as a recognized discipline, especially in regions where the field is still emerging, such as India, and encourages constructive feedback for continuous improvement.
