| dc.description.abstract | Forensically, a bite mark on human skin is reliant on the
matching of the alignment and position of the dentition
of the perpetrator with the bruise pattern inflicted by
the bite. If there is more than one suspect, the bite
pattern of each suspect needs to be analysed. At least
hypothetically, a bite delivered by a person who has had
orthodontic treatment will result in a bruise pattern of an
ideal arrangement of the teeth. If there are two suspects,
both of whom have had orthodontic treatment, could
that “ideal” alignment compromise identification of the
perpetrator of the bite mark? | en_US |
