Özet

In forensic science, forensic dentistry has become a crucial component that helps identify deceased people who cannot be identified visually or through other means. Dental records are inspected and assessed before presentation in the interest of justice and the law. Identification is difficult in medicolegal cases where people’s responses are erroneous or misleading, making it difficult to draw the correct conclusions. Digital forensics has replaced traditional forensic investigations in acquiring, analyzing, and reporting forensic evidence. A definition of digital forensics might be “the use of computer science and investigative techniques for a legal purpose involving the analysis of digital evidence.” Traditional written dental records are subject to subjectivity in their creation and analysis, which leaves them open to mistakes and omissions when identifying unidentified bodies. The authors recommend digitizing and standardizing dental records to improve the dependability of these analog techniques. A machine’s ability to mimic human intelligence and behavior to carry out particular tasks is known as artificial intelligence (AI). AI has advanced rapidly in recent years and could be helpful for efficient forensic dental identification.
