About this title

Synopsis

Using three case studies as examples, shows how forensic dentists can use teeth and teeth marks to identify criminals and victims.

Reviews

With lots of gruesome detail, this slim title in the 24/7 Science behind the Scenes: Forensic Files series uses true-life cases to bring close how forensic dentists identify corpses by their teeth or bite marks. The interactive text is very chatty ("Say some forensic dentist needs to identify a victim"), and each double-page spread is filled with screens, boxes, color photos, and bits of information for browsers. Based on interviews with forensic dentists, the book discusses a murder conviction where the criminal left a bite mark on the victim, a plane crash where forensic dentists identified more than 100 victims, and more. Then there is today's headline drama: 87 percent of Asia's recent tsunami victims were identified by forensic dentists, who are now working with Katrina victims. A final section looks at tools and equipment, including the use of digital imaging. The "gross stuff" will draw readers, who will also enjoy the combination of science, disaster, and up-to-date detective work. Hazel Rochman
