Forensic Periodontology

By Anushree Ningombam, Nipun Dhalla, Pooja Palwankar

The periodontium is typically constrained, despite having a lot of evidence. Antemortem evidence could include periodontal records and evidence. When there is a scarcity or absence of any other body fluids at a crime scene, there is always a compelling need to enhance forensic labs to help with identification. A periodontist can take a proactive role in the potential and probable identification of a known or unidentified patient both before and after death. Also, a number of systemic and dental illnesses can be examined for specific salivary genomes or biomarkers which is the forte of periodontal studies, the correlation of which always has great promise for future forensic dentistry research. The forensic periodontist can help facilitate the development of population- and location-specific oral microbial databanks to enhance forensic analysis.
