Forensic dentistry, also known as forensic odontology, is a specialized field within dentistry that applies dental knowledge to legal and criminal investigations. This discipline plays a crucial role in identifying individuals, assessing dental injuries, and providing evidence in legal cases. Forensic dentists use their expertise to analyze dental records, bite marks, and other oral features to aid in solving crimes and verifying identities, making it a vital component of the justice system. A fundamental aspect of forensic dentistry is the identification of individuals through dental records. Dental records, including X-rays, charts, and photographs, offer detailed information about a person’s dental history and unique features. Forensic dentists compare these records with the dental structures of unidentified bodies or remains to establish identity. This method is particularly valuable in cases where traditional identification methods are not feasible, such as in disaster scenarios or when the remains are severely decomposed or damaged. The distinctiveness of dental work, such as fillings, crowns, and tooth alignment, provides crucial identifying information that can be used to match individuals to their records.

Nano dentistry is an emerging field that integrates nanotechnology into dental practice to enhance diagnostic, therapeutic, and restorative techniques. By operating at the nanoscale, which involves manipulating matter at an atomic or molecular level, nano dentistry aims to revolutionize the way dental care is delivered. This innovative approach promises significant improvements in the precision, effectiveness, and outcomes of various dental treatments, offering new possibilities for both preventive and restorative care.
