odontology.
Written by a team of well-established, active practitioners in the

reference during practice.
After a brief introduction the book covers dental anatomy and
development, expert witness skills, mortuary practice, dental human
identification, disaster victim identification, dental age
assessment, bite marks, forensic photography and the role of the
forensic odontologist in protection of the vulnerable person.
Chapters outline accepted and recommended practices and refer to

objectively.
