There are people in this world who do not fully understand the concept of what forensic dentistry is and what it encompasses. “Forensic odontology or forensic odontology is a branch of forensic science that deals with the management, examination and presentation of dental evidence in court.” Forensic Dentistry: A Closer Look | Forensic science. (Ed.). Retrieved from http://www.forensicscience.org/resources/forensic-odontology-a-closer-look/. Forensic odontology deals with the identification of individuals from human remains. They can also determine a person's age, gender, race, and even occupation. Identification of individuals is done by comparing ante-mortem records with post-mortem records of the individual. Additionally, medical records are collected from the individual's alleged dentist once the forensic dentist has an idea of ​​who the person might be. Police agencies and funeral directors occasionally have difficulty identifying deceased victims over time, which sometimes leads to unsolved murder cases, unidentified human remains from war, or cases of abuse of individuals. In most cases, human remains can be very difficult to identify if the body has been severely mutilated, burned, dismembered, or severely decomposed. In this case, a forensic dentist is called in to help identify human remains by looking at a person's teeth and surrounding structures. Age estimation is also a well-known key factor for forensic dentistry, whether it involves the primary dentition for children, the mixed dentition for adolescents, or the permanent dentition for adults. The forensic dentist will examine the corpse of an unknown individual and examine the dentition presented, because the dentition will offer clues as to who the person might be. ......middle of paper......assaulted by Ted Bundy.

Once they took him into custody, he eventually went on trial for the murders he committed in the Florida state fraternity house, Chi Omega. While, during the trial, the bite marks found on Lisa Levy's body were some of the only physical evidence they had available during the trial. The forensic dentist took a plaster cast of Bundy's teeth and then compared them to bite marks found on his breasts and buttocks
