...RF Kouble, BDS; GT Craig, PhD Comparison techniques used in bite mark analysis are many and varied, the choice of technique depending largely on personal preference. Until recently, no one technique has been shown to be better than the others, and very little research has been carried out...

...IA Pretty, B.D.S. (Hons), M.Sc.; D Sweet, D.M.D., Ph.D. U.S. courts have stated that witnesses must be able to identify published works that define operational parameters of any tests or procedures that form the basis of scientific conclusions. Such works do not exist within the field of bite mark...

...E Robinson, D.D.S.; J Wentzel In bite mark analyses, the initial photograph is critical for the collection and presentation of evidence. A high-contrast film technique previously used primarily in the graphic arts field has been refined and applied to forensic odontology. The process, called...

...DJ Sweet, D.M.D.; RB Bastien Valuable forensic information can be obtained from analysis of human bite mark injuries after careful retrieval of such evidence from living or deceased victims. It is difficult, however, to maintain the anatomical configuration of the skin, especially where body...

...JC Dailey, D.D.S. A quick, inexpensive, and accurate technique for generating transparent overlays, using office photocopy machines, for use in bite mark case analysis is presented. The critical step in the fabrication process involves determination of the accuracy of the product produced...

...MH West, D.D.S.; RE Barsley, D.D.S., J.D.; J Frair, M.S.; MD Seal, B.S. Comparison of a suspected biter's dental arches with the patterned injury of a bite mark is especially difficult when the bite occurs in an anatomic location with a small radius of curvature or with complex or compound curves...
