...AH McNamee, D.D.S.M.Sc.; D Sweet, D.M.D.Ph.D.; I Pretty, B.D.S.M.Sc.Ph.D. This study compared the reliability of two methods used to produce computer-generated bitemark overlays with Adobe Photoshop® (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA). Scanned images of twelve dental casts were sent to 30 examiners...

...IA Pretty, B.D.S. (Hons), M.Sc. Within the field of forensic dentistry, the detection, collection, and analysis of bitemarks remains one of the most contentious areas.

...IA Pretty, B.D.S., M.Sc.; D Sweet, D.M.D., Ph.D. The purpose of this paper is to update and confirm previous studies that examined the anatomical location of human bitemarks. This information is useful to forensic odontologists and pathologists, physicians, and coroners who must be familiar...

...J McGivney, D.M.D.; R Barsley, D.D.S., J.D. A method for describing and documenting bitemarks is presented in which the patterned injury from each arch is broken down into its constituent marks. The centroid of each mark is determined and used as a point to define the mark. Lines are used...

...JC Dailey, D.D.S.; C Michael Bowers, D.D.S; J.D. The aging of bitemarks through the subjective interpretation of visual signs has created an area of controversy in the forensic science community. The healing dynamics of these bite wounds has been insufficiently studied and is poorly understood...

...JJ Nordby, Ph.D. Forensic experts often disagree. The possible sources of such disagreements are analyzed and possible avenues of resolution indicated. The logic of interpreting scenes, and pattern injuries such as bitemarks, is explained to locate potential sources for interpretive error...
