| description | Forensic odontology is a relatively new branch in the field of dentistry that has opened a new horizon for many dentists. With a surge of crime rates and lawsuits in the world, the need for specialists to help in identification of post mortem remains has increased. The reason for forensic odontology as an up-and-coming field in recent times is because teeth and the surrounding orofacial structures, similar to fingerprints, are unique features and can be used for definitive identification. This uniqueness can be attributed to variations in morphology, size and different treatment history of every individual. Teeth are a good source of data for post mortem studies as they are durable structures and are able to resist decomposition. For this reason, forensic odontology has become a promising field in recent times. Materials used to restore teeth have also shown durability in adverse conditions and increase the variations that can help in identification as restorations can be considered as unique features. The aim of this review article is to describe the various ways restorative materials can aid in identification of individuals. |
