Forensic Dentistry as a Morphological Exercise in the Medico-legal Investigation of Death

In forensics, the nature of collected evidence makes analysis in many disciplines complex. Each type of trace evidence requires a unique systematic approach, and even though these approaches are significantly based on the size and morphology of the evidence being examined. In 1999, the Council of Eu...
