Forensic Odontology Response to the NIST Report and CIFS Video
Pulp volume quantification methods in cone‐beam computed tomography for age estimation: A...
The secondary dentin deposition that occurs after the tooth formation process results in a decrease in pulp cavity volume in adolescents and adults. The purpose of this critical review was to correlate pulpal and/or dental volume on cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) with chron...
Dental hygiene students' matching accuracy when comparing antemortem dental radiographs...
Matching dental antemortem (AM) and postmortem (PM) data for human identification is especially challenging when the workforce is limited. Dental hygienists have served mass fatality incidents (MFIs) due to dental‐related expertise. However, forensics within dental hygiene educat...

A novel approach for forensic identification of automotive paints using optical coherence...
Automotive paint is one of the most important evidence in solving vehicle‐related criminal cases. It contains the critical information about the suspected vehicle, providing essential clues for the investigation. In this study, a novel approach based on optical coherence tomograp...
The discriminative potential of palatal geometric analysis for sex discrimination and...
Previous 3D superimposition studies of digital scans of the human palate, using geometric and surface morphology comparisons, have shown its usefulness in assisting in the identification process, including its ability to distinguish identical twins. This study aimed to evaluate t...

Regressive changes of crown‐root morphology and their volumetric segmentation for adult...
Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables the assessment of regressive morphological changes in teeth, which can be used to predict chronological age (CA) in adults. As each tooth region is known to have different correlations with CA, this study aimed to segment and quantify ...
