The power of DNA has been utilized in forensic research for its unique properties. These molecules are able to withstand extreme conditions such as temperature, pH, salt and other factors that would normally destroy classic serological markers. Restriction fragment length polymorphism and VNTR require a large amount of DNA, which is often difficult to find in the forensic scene, and the DNA fragments being analyzed are too long to be amplified by PCR. The STR, however, uses short sections of DNA which are ideal for PCR.
The volume of DNA increases exponentially, making it easier to test small samples. In addition, STR analysis does not require hybridization with a DNA probe, which would have taken a long time. This has allowed DNA tests to be accepted in the courtroom as they are individualized and extremely rare for DNA to match more than one person on this planet. The importance of forensic dentistry is evident in cases of violence and crimes against human life, such as bomb explosions, wars or air accidents, as well as in cases of charred bodies or bodies in advanced stages of decomposition.
Conventional methods of identification are no longer practical in these circumstances, which highlights the need for faster and more accurate methods during the forensic identification process. Teeth are preserved within the alveolar bone and thus the integrity of genetic material is preserved, making them a potential source of DNA material that plays an important role in identification and criminology. DNA profile tests in forensic identification offer a new perspective on forensic identification and are completely reliable. Therefore, dental professionals working in the field of forensic dentistry should incorporate these new technologies into their work of extracting DNA from genetic materials. Since no one can alter their DNA sequence after leaving it at the crime scene and since it is difficult to prevent DNA from being left at the crime scene, DNA analysis is undoubtedly the best forensic tool used in forensic medicine. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest DNA techniques for human identification in the field of forensic dentistry.
It is clear that DNA has revolutionized forensic odontology by providing reliable evidence that can be used to solve crimes and identify victims. Forensic odontology is an essential tool for law enforcement agencies around the world. It helps them identify victims quickly and accurately using their teeth or other dental records. By utilizing the power of DNA analysis, forensic odontologists can now extract valuable information from teeth that can be used to identify victims or suspects. DNA analysis has become an invaluable tool for forensic odontologists due to its accuracy and reliability. It allows them to extract small amounts of genetic material from teeth that can be used to identify individuals with a high degree of accuracy.
This makes it possible for law enforcement agencies to quickly identify victims or suspects even when traditional methods fail. The use of DNA analysis in forensic odontology has revolutionized the field by providing reliable evidence that can be used to solve crimes and identify victims. It is now possible for law enforcement agencies to quickly identify victims or suspects using their teeth or other dental records. In conclusion, it is clear that DNA has revolutionized forensic odontology by providing reliable evidence that can be used to solve crimes and identify victims. Forensic odontologists now have access to powerful tools such as DNA analysis that allow them to quickly and accurately identify individuals using their teeth or other dental records.
