“…The inflicted injuries by the scavenging behavior of this species are not very specific but their attack on bare cutaneous regions, their small individual size and their joining and superficial character allow us to distinguish them from those provoked by other animal species which preferentially remain at the level of the nose, eyes and ears [12]. The Gammarus postmortem injuries are macroscopically closer and more confluent than those caused by leeches, ants or roaches [13,14] and less deep than those inflicted by crawfish [15]. These amphipods do not produce oval or round crater-like dermal lesions as previously described and attributed to crustaceans [16] but only epidermal excision.…”

Forensic Dentistry as a Morphological Exercise in the Medico-legal Investigation of Death

In forensics, the nature of collected evidence makes analysis in many disciplines complex. Each type of trace evidence requires a unique systematic approach, and even though these approaches are significantly based on the size and morphology of the evidence being examined. In 1999, the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers adopted the Recommendation No. R (99)3 on the harmonization of medico-legal autopsies. This document promoted the adoption of internationally recognized and standardized protocols for forensic autopsies. Nevertheless, the interdisciplinary philosophy still needs integration of information from various investigative sources. An orientated and correct examination of the oral cavity requires specific knowledge of its anatomy and physiopathology, and of the procedures most adapted for its study, and thus the participation of a qualified odontologist is advisable. On the basis that there is not a current protocol that establishes the participation of the dentist during all medico-legal autopsies, we present a review based on that significant document, including reports and personal findings of oral injury patterns. Finally, a new paradigm on the participation of the forensic dentist in the medico-legal investigation of death is discussed.
