Abstract
Forensic dentistry is implicated in civil, criminal and research. It is useful for
determination of age, sex and race in disputed cases. Age can be determined by using the criteria like
eruption and calcification of teeth, Stack’s method, Miles formula, Boyde’s method and Gustafson’s
method. For determination of sex Visual/ clinical, Microscopic and Advanced criteria are used. The
peculiarities of the teeth will help in determination of race. Various methods like Universal system,
Palmer’s system, Haderup system, Federation Dentuire Internationale (FDI), Modified Federation
Dentuire Internationale (Modified FDI) and Zigmondy’s method are in use for charting of teeth
worldwide. The knowledge of interpretation, preservation and correlation of bite marks will be helpful in
administration of justice.
