SEM Application in Forensic Dentistry
Original language description
Dental identification has always played a key role in crime cases and disaster situations. Teeth are very high mineralized components of a human body and so they are in a certain degree resistant to flames, high temperature and chemicals. Recently forensic dentistry applies various microscopic techniques, which represent benefit for expert evidence. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to identify teeth by their structure, e.g. prismatic elements in enamel, dentinal tubules and evidence of previous restorations especially in diminutive fragments or incinerated remains. SEM with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis makes it possible to detect various restorative material residues and so indicate the ante mortem existence of a restoration. This knowledge could be valuable in a presumptive identification of the dead body. SEM provides also evidence of tool marks and traumatic or pathological defects.
