Overview
There's a valuable expertise
called dental forensics. Dentists trained
in forensics are skilled at identifying
victims of a homicide or a disaster,
such as a plane crash, a war or explosion.
They helped identify the victims of the
bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma
City. Today, they can establish positive
identifications, sometimes in a matter
of minutes with sophisticated computer
identification programs.
