Abstract
Utilizing the powder and brush method employed in lifting fingerprints, one of the authors was able to lift tooth prints on the body surface of both living and dead victims. The advantages of ease, speed, and greater accuracy of detail render the procedure useful to the forensic odontologist, the medical examiner, and the on-scene evidence technician.
