Forensic odontology is the proper handling, examination and evaluation of dental evidence, which will be then presented in the interest of justice!. The evidence that may be derived from teeth, is the age (in children) and identification of the person to whom the teeth belong!. This is done using dental records or ante-mortem (prior to death) photographs!.

Dentistry is the "evaluation, diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment (nonsurgical, surgical or related procedures) of diseases, disorders and/or conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and/or the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body"!. Dentistry is necessary for complete oral health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
