This study aimed to explore the psychological impacts of forensic activities on forensic odontologists and students undertaking training. Firstly, it of an integrative review (part I) on the psychological effects of forensic odontology practice. The review was performed on Scopus, Medline and Web of Science. Next, an anonymous online survey using JISC Online Surveys tool (part II) was performed to assess the inherent opinions of forensic odontologists from the the International Organization for Forensic Odonto-Stomatology (IOFOS), and Association of Forensic Odontologists for Human Rights (AFOHR), and Dentify.me. Results were quantitatively evaluated by means of descriptive statistics and qualitatively upon reflection using Microsoft Office Excel (2010). Part I, only one full-text article out of 2235 (Webb et al., 2002) was found eligible indicating a low number of eligible studies. Part II, 75 forensic odontologists and 26 students (49.9% male; 50.5% female) from over 35 countries participated. Results showed that forensic dentists are more psychologically or emotionally affected by child abuse cases and least affected by age estimation cases. Most experienced forensic odontologists reported the lowest scores of discomforts. Males were more comfortable than women in dealing with stress. 80.77% (n= 21) of the students have not experienced any behavioural changes following mortuary sessions but 19.2% (n= 5) witnessed stress. All respondents support the inclusion of a module in Psychology or stress management in training programmes in Forensic Odontology. Suggestions to maintain mental health are considered by the respondents and topics to be taught suggested by a psychologist.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"41 1","pages":"2-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10319096/pdf/JFOS-41-1-02.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9907723","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}

A pilot study.","authors":"E Alvarado Muñoz, S Rm Requena Calla","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Age estimation is an important forensic resource in human identification. Amongst the different methods of dental age estimation, root dentin transparency (RDT) is considered a reliable parameter, as well as an indicator of chronological age at time of death in human adult remains. The aim of this study was to estimate the age of individuals using the Bang and Ramm method and to derive a new formula suitable for age estimation in the Peruvian population by assessing the length and percentage length of RDT.Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 248 teeth collected from 124 deceased individuals, between the ages of 30 and 70 years. RDT length was digitally measured from sectioned and photographed teeth. Linear and quadratic regressions were made to derive Peruvian formulae and the new formulae were applied to another group of samples (n=30).Results: Data showed a significant correlation (p<0.01) between chronological age and translucency length (Pearson´s correlation=0.775) and percentage length (Pearson´s correlation=0.778). Linear and quadratic regressions for obtaining Peruvian formulae showed that quadratic equations expressed greater determination coefficients. Comparisons between estimated age using Peruvian formulae showed that dental age from percentage of length of RDT a higher percentage of estimates with errors <± 05 and <± 10 years. The accuracy of the new Peruvian formula using the percentage of length of RDT (MAE=7.83) can be considered acceptable.Conclusion: As shown in the results, age estimation using the Peruvian formula derived from the percentage of length of RDT has proven to be more accurate than estimates using the Bang and Ramm method. Thus, it could be used in age estimation for Peruvian individuals, as it is the most accurate methods and provides a larger number of acceptable estimates.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"41 1","pages":"19-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10319099/pdf/JFOS-41-1-19.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9907716","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 many countries, 21 years has medico-legal importance. In the present study, we assessed and compared the accuracy of the third molar maturity index (I3M) and the stages of radiographic visibility of the root pulp (RPV) in predicting the age threshold of 21 years. A sample of 910 digital panoramic radiographs (455 males and 455 females) of adolescents and young adults aged between 16 and 30 of south Indian origin were evaluated. The authors examined the performance of different I3M cut-off values and RPV stages. I3M cut-off value of 0.02 has resulted in better discrimination with an accuracy of 76.92% and 80.44%, specificity of 48.28% and 56.16% in males and females, a sensitivity of 100%, and post-test probability of 65.9% in both sexes. The accuracy and sensitivity of RPV stage 2 were 84.76% and 84.55%, 78.17%, and 78.97% in males and females, while the specificity and post-test probability were 100% in both sexes. In conclusion, the I3M method resulted in a more significant percentage of false positives and cannot be used to state the attainment of 21 years. However, the presence of RPV stage 2 could say that the subject had already attained the age of 21 years.

Fire is a destructive force capable of inflicting significant damage. Destruction of soft tissue in fire disasters makes victim identification nearly impossible. Teeth are hard and resilient and withstand such conditions. Analyzing the precise morphological, stereomicroscopic, histological, and gravimetric findings can extract valuable information from dental evidence in forensic investigations.Materials and methods: Thirty-six mandibular premolar teeth extracted for therapeutic purposes were exposed to high-temperature gradients. Macroscopic, stereomicroscopic, histological, and dry weight analyses were performed at each temperature gradient.Results: The colour of teeth changed from yellowish orange to metallic black bronze to chalky white. Stereomicroscopy showed intact teeth at 100°C, gradual micro-cracks at 500°C, and a fully fractured crown at 900°C. Decalcified sections revealed dilatation of dentinal tubular pattern at 300°C. Dentinal tubules showed appearance of vapour bubbles at 400°C, resulting in loss of typical architecture. In the ground sections, alterations in scalloping nature of dentino-enamel junction, coalescing radicular dentinal tubules, and sand cracking appearance of teeth were noted at 100°C, 300°C, and 900°C, respectively. Significant reductions in the weight of the teeth samples were observed with higher temperatures.Conclusion: From the morphological, histological, and gravimetric changes in a tooth caused by fire, it might be possible to determine the temperature and duration of fire exposure, and the cause of the fire.","PeriodicalId":35728,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology","volume":"40 3","pages":"52-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10266701/pdf/JFOS-40-3-52.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10007961","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}

Root translucency and periodontosis are regressive parameters used to estimate the age of adults, more specifically in Lamendin's method - established in 1992 in a French population. This study aimed to test the applicability and validity of Lamendin's method in a Brazilian osteological collection.Methods: The sample consisted of 74 single-rooted teeth obtained from 50 skeletal remains (mean age: 53.20 ± 16.17 years) from Southeast Brazil. Lamendin's method was applied to enable a comparison between chronological (CA) and estimated ages (EA). A new population-specific equation was designed for the studied sample and the outcomes were compared with those obtained with Lamendin's original equation.Results: The original methods led to a general underestimation of 11.32 years (8.83 years in males and 15.91 years in females). The method had a better performance among individuals between 40 and 59 years (mean differences between CA and EA: 4.8 years). The population-specific equation led to a mean overestimation of -2.04 years in males, and a mean underestimation of 3.77 years in females. Underestimations were considerably higher in other age groups.Conclusion: Despite the apparent improvements, both the original and the population-specific equations revealed coefficients of concordance that were constantly low between CA and EA. These outcomes suggest restrictions to the application of Lamendin's method in the forensic field, especially for human identification.
