Delving Deeper Into Forensic Odontology

The orthodontic treatments compared were fixed appliance therapy and Invisalign. In the study, one large group was split into two smaller groups. One group wore fixed appliances and the other wore invisalign. For one week, the test subjects kept a journal and answered questions. The questions were used to determine the psychosocial, functional, and pain related to treatment impacts. The diary results for each group of test subjects were averaged. A graph was then made to compare the impacts of fixed appliance therapy and Invisalign. The graphs revealed Invisalign impacts were more “positive” than the impacts fixed orthodontic treatments

The field of forensic anthropology is relatively young, with roots in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Its popularity continues to grow today, with TV shows like “Bones” and novels like “Coroner at Large.” The work of a forensic anthropologist is important in a historical and medicolegal context. Without the study of bones and death, lots of history would be lost forever, and murders would go unsolved.

The book gives a general overview of the field of forensic science. The sections of the book include “The Scene of the Crime; Working the Scene--The Evidence; Working the Scene of the Body Human;

Bite marks has put many people in jail. Bite marks evidence is part of the forensic odontologist where a dentist uses his expertise to match bite marks that has been left on a person's body with dental records of the suspect to determine whether or not a person has is guilty of a crime or not guilty. Even though Bite mark evidence has been used to prosecute there has been no real research that shows that bite mark evidence is accurate. Being that bite mark evidence has been considered as having no findings that the arrangement of a person's teeth is not unique in a way that a person DNA would be in a criminal proceeding. Because human being skin is stretchy and can deform in a way that it could look like a bite mark impression has been made

Forensic odontology requires fine motor skills just like any other field of dentistry. Forensic odontologists must also have a keen sense of observation, “Forensic odontology requires attention to detail and the ability to work patiently to complete a lengthy process step-by-step without rushing” (explorehealthcareers). Forensic odontologists, just like others in the forensic science field, must be able to re-create the crime in their head just from the evidence at the crime scene. This is one of the main things that make forensic odontology a truly unique field of

This paper will focus mainly on the history and the various techniques that forensic facial reconstruction has to offer. It will also go over some problems or an issue that is process has faced over the years. The Daubert Standard will discuss and how facial reconstruction was allowed as evidence thru this standard. I will go over all the periods of time that facial reconstruction was used. Computerized and Clay reconstruction will be discussed and how they have help investigators solved current and cold case crimes.

In 1948, the professional organization of forensic scientists in America (AAFS) was established (Lyman, 2014). Members of the AAFS include pathology and biology, toxicology, criminalistics, questioned documents, and forensic odontology, anthropology, serology, and ballistics (Lyman, 2014). The science advancement in these areas of study

Thank you for the discussion of your workplace’s nursing culture. My nursing culture in the facility where I am currently employed, a division of United Health Group, also encourages leadership. However, the organization is unique as culture is defined by five values: integrity, compassion, relationships, innovation, and performance (UnitedHealth Group, 2017). Each of these values are reviewed at a monthly 1:1 session with a manager and are incorporated into the annual evaluation, cash awards, and merit increases.

With the included influence of Conan Doyle’s novels and the natural advancement the real world was making with Sherlock Holmes along side, the progress made by forensic specialists continued to grow. Along with the science growing, so did the technology to support and further expand the science needed to solve

When bodies are found in very bad conditions the teeth are sometimes all that remain of a body and that is when a forensic odontologist job comes into play. Forensic odontology is also important for helping with the linking of suspects to crime scenes when there is evidence such as bite marks or dental impressions left behind; as Avon states “Forensic odontology involves the management, examination, evaluation and presentation of dental evidence in criminal or civil proceedings, all in the interest of justice.” (Avon, Vol 70,

This paper discusses the different roles that are taken on by a forensic psychologist, and how those roles interact and affect each other and how the psychologist is about to do his/her job. It looks briefly at the history of the field. We discuss the forensic psychologist as the consultant, the therapist, the researcher, as well as the expert witness. This paper also discusses predicting dangerousness and whether or not an expert can predict dangerousness. Finally we look at conflicting roles and ethics in the field.

In the past decade, forensic science has progressed rapidly and played a tremendous role in Criminal Justice system. Since the beginning, multiple disciplines have taken form, such as pathology, anthropology, Firearms impressions, and fingerprint analysis. Of the many that exist today, one has proven itself to be indispensible: Odontology. Odontology has proven effective ever since 1776, when Paul Revere created a pair of dentures for a good friend of his. Years later, during the revolutionary war, Paul Revere was able to identify his friends body using the dentures he had him, after he died in battle. This is a very early practice of forensic dentistry. Ever since, its main purpose has been to identify bodies.

On December 11th, 1941 the United States of America, in response to formal declarations of war, declared war against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan. Prior to this, the United States was in a state of isolationism, which meant they were staying away from the European/Pacific conflict. It was the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that sparked the United States decision to enter and declare war against Japan and the conflict going on in the Pacific Ocean. Soon after, Hitler declared war on the United States because of his agreement with Japan as allies. Until this point, the United States planned to stay neutral in Europe. With Hitler Declaring war, the United States was officially brought in to the conflict. F.D.R. spoke to Congress and received unanimous votes, with none dissenting to declare war against the Axis. This was the first time that the United States would be at war on both sides, the Pacific and the Atlantic. The United States entering the war in the Pacific and the war in Europe, was a turning point for the Allied powers, which lead to an ultimate Allied victory and the dismantling of the Axis
