Every tooth possesses a set of unique characteristics and the way the teeth are arranged in different oral cavities are unique in every individual. Therefore, dentition is useful for individual identification and comparison, especially in mass disasters where the bodies of the victims become mutilated beyond recognition. Forensic odontology deals with the science of dentistry to aid in the administration of justice. There is a huge void in the number of forensic odontology experts required to meet the demand and those that are actually getting trained in this concern. In order to ease this, there is a need to incorporate MBBS undergraduate curriculum with the shortlisted particulars of forensic dentistry. The study was conducted to evaluate the awareness and knowledge about forensic dentistry amongst the 2nd Year MBBS under graduates in Mahavir Institute of Medical Sciences. The study showed that the level of awareness on topic was adequate in the participants but they had little knowledge about the practical application of forensic odontology in routine practice. Conducting regular seminars and workshops can be helpful to develop the practical skill required in handling forensic odontology related cases in emergency department. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
