...AH McNamee, D.D.S.M.Sc.; D Sweet, D.M.D.Ph.D.; I Pretty, B.D.S.M.Sc.Ph.D. This study compared the reliability of two methods used to produce computer-generated bitemark overlays with Adobe Photoshop® (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA). Scanned images of twelve dental casts were sent to 30 examiners...

... to compare different methods. This study evaluates and compares the accuracy of direct comparisons between suspects' models and bite marks with indirect comparisons in the form of conventional traced overlays of suspects' models or a new method using photocopier-generated overlays. Artificial bite marks...

...D Sweet, D.M.D., Ph.D.; CM Bowers, D.D.S., J.D. Physical comparison of a suspect's teeth to a bite mark injury using hollow volume comparison overlays is a common forensic odontology technique. Several methods are used to record characteristics of the size, shape and position of the teeth...

...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...

...GF Jones, D.D.S. A system for handling dental data in mass disasters and in individual cases is described. The basic method allows for a quick overlay comparison of antemortem and postmortem records. After systematic hole punching in the postmortem form, it can be placed over the antemortem form...
