Michael Bowers will show the crime scene investigator the complete scope of forensic odontology. A host of notable experts in the forensic sciences are listed as contributing authors and photographic contributors. The graphic illustrations provided in this book are excellent. The book begins by reviewing the history of forensic odontology. Dr. Bowers then describes who is qualified to render opinions on dental evidence. This book is a valuable tool to be used by the budding odontologist or any investigator trying to gain knowledge in the field of forensic odontology. I would highly recommend this book for library additions in any Medical Examiner’s office police department forensic nursing station law office or any agency that would use the services of a forensic odontologist.” - Bryan Chrz D.D.S. Past President American Board of Forensic Odontology Anil Aggrawal s Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology When I was asked to review this book I accepted with a mix of enthusiasm and trepidation. I know very little about dentistry. I was keen to read a book on a subject which I have little knowledge however I was anticipating having to do a lot of research and learn the technical jargon used in dentistry. I felt that without additional research I would not be able to review this book competently. Nothing could have been further from the truth in this case. The first thing about this book that I was impressed with had nothing to do with the content. This book is a manageable size. There is nothing more daunting for any researcher or student than a 4000 page textbook. This book is 200 pages of well organized material and relevant photographs. Still a little unsure of my ability to understand the content I sat down to read. To my great pleasure I read this book in 2 days. I was eased into the subject and never felt overwhelmed by scientific terminology. This book is one of the most informative and interesting textbooks I have read. It eases the reader into the subject of forensic dentistry and provides clear well organized explanations of the applications of this branch of forensic investigation. This book is scattered with case studies which help illustrate the practical uses of forensic dentistry. Many textbooks I have read are written using tornadoes of technical jargon which leave the reader struggling to understand the material being presented. Forensic Dental Evidence is not one of these books. The language of this book is straight forward and easily understood. The subject matter is logically laid out. Each chapter explains the subject matter and then punctuates the information with exceptional photographs and relevant case studies. In addition each chapter contains a ""how to collect and preserve various types of evidence section"" should an investigator encounter a similar situation. When terms specific to dentistry are used they are accompanied by clear explanations or definitions. The photographs in this book are impressive to say the least. I instantly thought of the various groups which I teach evidence recognition to when I saw the photographs of the individual types of human teeth. I will be taking this book with me to the next seminar as a teaching tool. Bite mark analysis is a relatively new field of forensic investigation. Evidence of this type is often missed or misinterpreted. The chapter regarding this subject covers recognition documentation and methods of comparison. There is also a comprehensive explanation of the types of cases in which this type of analysis may be useful. This chapter also includes step by step instruction on how to collect DNA samples from possible bite mark wounds. The chapter on Physical Abuse and Forensic Dentistry may be useful to emergency medical personnel and not just forensic dental investigators. This chapter defines the various types of abuse which are common and identifies the groups in which these injuries are typically seen. There are also clear photographs of wounds which can be mistaken for bite marks. The chapter on Dental Investigations in Mass Disasters will be useful for any personnel involved in recovery of remains in such situations. There are step by step guidelines for collection documentation and preservation of evidence. This includes remains of any type not just dental evidence. A guide for protocol in response to mass disasters is also provided in this chapter. Something fairly new is the use of digital imaging in evidence collection and analysis. This chapter covers the use of digital imaging devices and software. It clearly the explains the advantages of using digital images when used in conjunction with tradition photographic methods. This chapter also includes detail instruction on calculating and compensating for photographic distortion and other common problems encountered with still photography. The final chapter in this book includes step by step instruction regarding photographic techniques. Originally I thought I might recommend this book as a text for dental students of dentists interested in forensic investigations. I have changed my view having completed reading the book. I believe that this book should be required reading for all students of forensics. Some of the techniques described in this book can be used in almost any field of investigation. The examples of injuries and wound patterns can also be used across many fields of investigation. Groups which will consider this book especially useful will include all police forces military and civilian search and rescue groups medical personnel including coroners and medical examiners photographers and computer technicians anthropologists and social workers dealing with abuse issues. Finally this book should be recommended reading in law schools teaching criminal law and law enforcement training programs. - Crime Watch Canada "
