SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA: A quartet of lecturers presented Forensic Dentistry: CSI: San Francisco—Who was this? during a lecture at CDA Presents the Art and Science of Dentistry. The educational offering was one of many at the California Dental Association meeting, held 10-13 September.
The speakers for the forensic dentistry session were Anthony “Rick” Cardoza, DDS; Duane E. Spencer, DDS; James D. Wood, DDS; and Jeannine Willie.
Moving at a fast pace and using actual casework to illustrate the leading principles of forensic dentistry, the four presenters taught attendees how to acquire an understanding of the varied roles of forensic dentists as well as the forensic value of dental records. Attendees also learned how to cooperate with the legal system.
The lecturers’ second session focused on the analysis of bitemarks and how they are used within the legal system.
Detailed case presentations illustrated human and animal bitemarks and covered the spectrum from good to bad, and even ugly, aspects of such cases.
Understanding the limitations of bitemark analysis was a prime focus of the course.
