The pink tooth phenomenon (PTP) is a cadaveric sign that allegedly manifests more often in victims of asphyxia. However, the scientific literature is scarce and controversial on this aspect.Objective: This study aimed at screening victims of mechanical asphyxia in order to search for post-mortem pink teeth.Material and methods: Retrospectively, autopsy reports from a local medico-legal institute in South Brazil were revisited in the search for victims of death by asphyxia. Autopsy reports of twenty one victims aged between 6 and 67 years (mean age: 40.6 years ±19.20; median: 37 years) were found and analyzed.Results: The different modalities of asphyxia included drowning (n=7; 33.33%), strangulation (n=1; 4.76%) and hanging (n=13; 61.91%). A single case of PTP was detected (4.76%) - a 26-year-old male victim of hanging.Conclusion: This study illustrates and highlights the unspecific aspect of the PTP. In practice, forensic experts must avoid interpretations of this phenomenon as conclusive evidence of the cause of death, such as asphyxia by drowning, strangulation or hanging.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"38 1","pages":"34-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7880156/pdf/JFOS-38-1-34.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9418200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The observations were entered in the SPSS software (Version 19.0). The paired t-test and independent samples t-test were applied to assess the differences between chronological and estimated age in both genders.Results and conclusion: Inter-observer reliability was found to be excellent with Cronbach Alpha to be 1.000 and 0.997 for Cameriere's and London Atlas age estimation methods respectively. The difference of 0.59 years (SD ±1.32 years) was highly significant and indicated a consistent underestimation of age using Cameriere's method. While, applying the London Atlas, the difference of -0.03 years (SD± 0.69 years) was not significant and indicated a little overestimation of age. No significant difference was observed for both genders with the methods. Our results revealed that the methods are reliable for age estimation in Indian children, however, the London Atlas is simpler to use and is more accurate than Cameriere's method.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"38 1","pages":"39-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7880158/pdf/JFOS-38-1-39.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9418201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Right mandibular third molars were assessed using Modified Demirjian Scoring System. Mean Absolute Error, Percentage error and Correlation is determined between dental age (DA) and chronologic age (CA) of the population.Results and conclusion: Initial development of the third molars is observed to begin at approximately 9 years of age and root completion commences at around 19 years of age. Using Spearman Rank-Order Correlation, a strong positive correlation between CA and DA was observed among the overall population (r=0.9518). The observed correlation was stronger among females (r=0.9595) compared to males (r=0.9445). All correlation coefficients were significant (p-value<0.0001). Low percentage error among males and females is observed indicating no significant difference between the CA and DA values of the population.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"38 1","pages":"26-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7880155/pdf/JFOS-38-1-26.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9418203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the absence of pelvic elements, the skull appears to be the best sex indicator, and can also be submitted to quantitative or metric assessments. Eleven measurements were taken for this study, four in the sagittal plane and seven in the horizontal, in two groups of 186 skulls each, with 101 from males and 85 from females for those of the sagittal plane, and 100 and 86, respectively, for those concerning the horizontal, of subjects aged between 18 and 94 years at the time of death. The sample belongs to the Osteological and Tomographic Biobank Professor Doctor Eduardo Daruge of the Piracicaba Dental School of the University of Campinas. The aim of this research was to establish a reliable method to determine sex and elaborate mathematical prototypes capable of assisting in investigation or identification activities, in a preliminary study. Of the measures implemented (Lambda-Nasion, Lambda-Rhinion, Lambda-Nasospinale, Rhinion-Nasospinale, Zygomaxillare-Zygomaxillare, Lambda-Incisive Foramen, Lambda-Right Zygomaxillare, Lambda-Left Zygomaxillare, Basion-Incisive Foramen, Basion-Right Zygomaxillare and Basion-Left Zygomaxillare), only the Lambda-Nasospinale and Rhinion-Nasospinale in the sagittal plane, and the Zygomaxillare-Zygomaxillare and Lambda-Incisive Foramen in the horizontal plane, were significantly dimorphic. Two predictive mathematical models of sex were conceived for each pair of them: one of logistic regression and another of conditional inference trees, displaying accuracy rates of 78.5% and 77.42%, and of 68.28% and 72.04%, respectively. The authors concluded that there is the possibility to apply the aforementioned data in forensic anthropology as an auxiliary tool in investigation or identification tasks.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"38 1","pages":"8-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7880152/pdf/JFOS-38-1-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9425184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Odontological identification represents a reliable and important complement to forensic inquiries, in particular in the event of unidentifiable human remains. However, this technique is based on the availability of ante-mortem records containing significant evidence. In the absence of dental records, the only available ante-mortem elements are often photographs. In the present study, dental profile photographs of selected smiling subjects were compared to the relevant plaster study models through digital image analysis. In order to ascertain the reliability of the technique, the comparison was carried out both in a homologous and heterologous manner with the Facecomp software. The results confirm the ability of Facecomp software to identify even the smallest variations in dental elements to reach a positive identification. The method is useful in forensic practice since a forensic inquiry may obtain plaster models from cadavers for comparison with photographs of missing people's anterior teeth.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"37 3","pages":"21-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7442964/pdf/JFOS-37-3-21.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9456056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although several such methods exist, Demirjian's method and Willems' method are very popular and have been used extensively. Whether these methods are applicable to the Indian population is not known.Methods: A search of Pubmed, Embase and Google Scholar search engines was done using specific keywords to identify studies using Demirjian's and Willems' methods in the Indian population. Studies published up to July 2018 were considered, and after thorough review, 20 eligible studies were identified. Meta-analysis of data obtained from these articles was conducted on 3668 children for Demirjian's method and 3144 children for Willems' method. The weighted mean differences for both of these methods at 95% confidence intervals were assessed to identify the accuracy of each method in predicting the chronological age.Results: Demirjian's method was found to consistently overestimate the age in Indian population, irrespective of the gender. The overestimation was in the order of few months. Willems' method resulted in underestimation of the age, although this was comparatively minimal in the order of 30 to 40 days.Conclusion: Willems' method produced more accurate age which was very close to the chronological age, both in boys and girls. In contrast, Demirjian's method suffered from marked overestimation. Willems' method appears to be more suited to use in the Indian population.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"37 3","pages":"2-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7442963/pdf/JFOS-37-3-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9456057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
