Odontology (Bite out of Crime)

Target Grade: 9-12

One of the ways in which modern forensic science can positively identify an individual is through dental records, since teeth not only differ in detail from person to person, the same as fingerprints differ, but they last longer than other physical elements after death. The changes are so small in the dental records as the subject ages that records compiled years earlier will still be sufficiently accurate to provide positive identification.
