Compare and contrast permanent and deciduous human dentition. 3. Recognize the value of odontology in forensic investigations. 4. Explain how teeth and craniofacial features are helpful in estimating age, ancestry, and sex. 5. Differentiate between the dentition of humans and other animals.

5 5 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Introduction—Vocabulary o cementum - bonelike covering of the portion of the tooth that extends into the bone (the root); attaches the tooth to the periodontal ligament, a connective tissue that anchors the tooth to the bone o crown - the portion of the tooth that is covered in enamel and is situated above the gum o dentin - hardened connective tissue that makes up the majority of a tooth; surrounds the pulp cavity and is covered by enamel in the crown and by cementum in the root

6 6 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Introduction—Vocabulary o dentition pattern - the pattern made by a particular set of teeth o enamel - the outer covering of the crown of a tooth, made up of calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate o neck - area between the root and the crown of the tooth; also known as the cementoenamel junction (where the enamel and cementum meet)

7 7 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Introduction—Vocabulary o odontology - the study of the anatomy and growth of teeth and diseases associated with the teeth and gums o pulp - softer connective tissue that composes the innermost portion of the tooth; contains nerves and blood vessels o root - the portion of the tooth that extends into the tooth socket and is covered with cementum

20 20 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Ancestry Estimation o Examining physical characteristics CANNOT absolutely determine an unidentified person’s ancestry. o Certain characteristics are more common within certain population groups

21 Prognathism 21 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Common in African and Aboriginal Australian Common in European (Orthognathism)

22 22 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Ancestry Estimation o The shape of the descendant's incisors can be a useful feature o Fewer than 10% of European and African descent have this feature

23 23 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Sex Estimation o Difficult to determine with teeth o Male teeth—generally larger o Female teeth—canines tend to be more pointed o Craniofacial differences make sex determination more accurate

39 39 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Chapter Summary o A forensic odontologist—a dentist using knowledge of teeth to identify unknown decedents, help police in criminal investigations, and verify signs of abuse. o Teeth are used in the mechanical digestion of food. o A human has two sets of teeth in a lifetime. The shape of teeth varies depending on function. o A typical tooth consists of the crown, the neck, and the root. The crown is the portion of the tooth that is above the gum line.

40 40 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Chapter Summary o Family identification, personal effects, and location of the body may provide information for a presumptive identification of a body. o Fingerprints, DNA analysis, or comparison of medical or dental X-rays are necessary for a positive identification. o Teeth and craniofacial features provide clues to a person’s age, ancestry, and sex.

41 41 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Chapter Summary o Teeth and dental alterations are more resistant to the forces of decomposition than other tissues of the body, making teeth an important tool in identification of burned or badly decomposed remains. o Bite marks alone are not conclusive evidence, but useful in narrowing a list of suspects. o Traces of DNA from saliva in a bite mark may lead to a positive identification of the perpetrator.

42 42 Forensic Science II: Forensic Odontology, Chapter 11 © 2012 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved Chapter Summary o A typical human bite mark has a double horseshoe pattern. The marks left by the six most central teeth of the upper and lower jaws are the most evident. o Nonhuman bite marks have very different dentition patterns than those of humans.
