FORENSIC ASSESSMENT OF THE NATURE OF DENTAL INJURIES

Abstract

According to the analysis of the conclusions of forensic medical examinations of the teeth injuries, it has been established that the trauma of the teeth was caused by a strong blow of a blunt solid object on the tooth crown. The frontal teeth of the upper jaw and, less frequently, the lower jaw were affected. Tooth fractures were localised to the crown, neck and root of the tooth. Injuries to the maxillary central incisors were the most common.
