Abstract

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is a long-lasting infectious disease that usually affects the lungs (pulmonary TB), but can also affect other organs and systems (extra-pulmonary TB). Oral TB is uncommon, particularly primary oral tuberculosis which predominantly affects young adults, and the tongue is the site most frequently affected. This case report aimed to discuss the manifestation of TB in the hard palate, focusing on observation from a cadaver and providing a thorough analysis of the oral clinical symptoms. We reported a case of unidentified 42-year-old female body that  was found dead and brought to Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital for an autopsy. Poor oral hygiene was found. In the palate, there was bone defect on palatum durum regio teeth 21 22 near to the incisive foramen. Pink teeth was discovered in the anterior part of the lower jaw. Based on the autopsy report, the cause of death was tuberculosis. In conclusion, although tuberculosis of the palate is infrequent, it should be included as a potential cause of palatal perforation during diagnostic evaluations. Additionally, it is crucial to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the primary site of tuberculosis in cases involving palatal tuberculosis. Keywords: oral tuberculosis; palatal perforation; pink teeth phenomenon

Abstract

This study measures the similarity of the short tandem repeat (STR) profile of human DNA. The similarity measurement had been done to the STR value of the allele loci in DNA profile between the query’s DNA to the reference’s DNA profile. The measurements were conducted on 27 DNA profile loci including the Y chromosome loci (YSTR). The YSTR loci were used as the main comparison of similarity measurements to determine the biological kinship relationship between the query DNA profile and the alleged male biological family. To measure the similarity of two STR values that have shifted due to several factors in the DNA source extraction process, a fuzzy similarity measure was used. The STR values of the DNA profile loci are described as triangular fuzzy numbers. Similarity value of the STR is the intersection of two isosecle that been compared. To conclude that the query has a biological relationship with the male reference, the similarity of the YSTR locus is equal or more than 0.75 and the similarity value of the other 24 DNA profile loci is greater or equal to 0.5. From the trial that have been done, 90% give the right results.

Abstract

Determining the estimated age in forensics is very important because it involves legal accountability. The method of determining age estimation can be done by direct measurement of the orocraniofacial bone or by using radiography. This article examines theseveral studies as well as parameters for determining age estimation using orocraniofacial. Search for published articles on Elsevier, Pubmed, Google Scholar, Research Gate, and NCBIon range2007-2021 years. The results show that it is more advisable to determine the age estimate by direct measurement compared to using radiography because it is prone to distortion.

Abstract

Identification of sex estimation is the first step in the identification process and is one of the priority parameters in the forensic identification process. Identification is made when the condition of the body is unrecognizable due to natural disasters, transport accidents, bomb explosions, ethnic studies and crime investigations, where only a few parts of the body are already incomplete and limited information are available. In forensic odontology, morphological and morphometric analysis of the orocraniofacial bone is an important component that can help in the process of identifying sex estimation because it has different shapes and sizes in each individual and population. This article will discuss morphological and morphometric analysis of several parameters of the orocraniofacial bone, as well as the advantages and limitations of both methods.

Abstract

Assessment of mandibular growth status has been done using cephalometric radiographs by looking at cervical bone maturation. Recent studies suggest that this method is not good at identifying the final period of growth. In recent years, biomolecular re-search has been conducted to look at the potential of proteins as growth indicators. It is important to comprehensively understand the mandibular growth process in order to determine which proteins have the potential to be used as indicators. Mandibular growth is a complex biological process that is regulated by various proteins through various signalling pathways. The centre of growth is at the mandibular condyle which has a unique cartilage and plays a dual role as articular cartilage and growth plate. This review discusses the role of fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR-3) in the mandibular growth process and its signalling pathways. The FGFR-3 was shown to act as a negative regulator of mandibular growth by reducing the proliferation and hypertrophic dif-ferentiation of chondrocytes in mandibular condylar cartilage. It is concluded that the regulation of FGFR-3 is localised due to pre-vious studies on condylar cartilage of experimental animals, so further research needs to be done to see the role of FGFR-3 in human mandibular growth.

Abstract

Introduction: Age estimation is crucial in forensic and dental sciences, particularly for determining gestational age in suspected illegal abortion cases. This study highlights the significance of the Al Qahtani method, which focuses on dental development, as a reliable approach for estimating gestational age. Gestational age is commonly assessed through body length, weight, and the maturation of skeletal and dental structures, with radiographs serving as essential tools for evaluating dental development. The aim of this case report is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Al Qahtani method in estimating gestational age in the context of an alleged illegal abortion. Case report: The body of an unidentified infant was found on the side of the road, wrapped in a piece of white cloth and a brown sarung. It was transported to the hospital’s forensic department for identification. Periapical radiographs were taken of the anterior areas of the teeth, and the Al Qahtani method was employed to determine the age of the deceased infant. The radiographs provided a clear overview of dental maturation, which was essential for accurate age estimation. Conclusion: The Al Qahtani method is recommended as a standard practice in forensic odontology for estimating gestational age in abortion cases. This method contributes significantly to medical treatment, criminal investigations, and legal proceedings, enhancing the accuracy of age determination and supporting both medical and legal contexts.

Abstract

Background: A disaster is a serious disruption in the functioning of a society that can cause many losses. It can be caused by nature or humans. When the loss of life is on a large scale, the recovery process is made more complicated by simultaneous identification operations. Biological profiling is of paramount importance when investigating cases; the age at which a victim dies is crucial for reconstructing the victim’s life. Purpose: The purpose of this case study is to highlight the utility of palatal suture obliteration as a valuable indicator for age estimation in adults, especially when there are minimal remaining dental elements that make age estimation by other methods of dental analysis impossible. Case: The author presents a case of burn victims due to a fire disaster in the fuel oil terminal area in Jakarta that killed several victims. As they were found in a visually unrecognizable condition, without identity documents, and in a state where the victims’ teeth left few dental elements, effort is needed to assist in identifying the victims, including victim age estimation techniques with ideal methods that can be applied in the field. Case management: The Crow-Glassman Scale (CGS) is used to describe the extent of burns to tissue remnants. On external examination, all body parts showed the burns reaching level 3 CGS. The victim is estimated to be over 50 years old. Decision making is based on the guidelines of the Mann method, wherein if more than 50% of the anterior median palatine suture is obliterated, then the minimum estimated age is 50 years. Conclusion: The obliteration of the palatal sutures can be used as supporting evidence when considered alongside other more reliable age indicators that can narrow down the age of unidentified individuals.

Abstract

Introduction: Age estimation using ectocranial and endocranial cranial sutures is an important technique in forensic science and forensic odontology. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the relationship, accuracy, and reliability of this method by reviewing findings from previously published studies. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant research published between 2019 and 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed original studies that applied cranial suture methods for age estimation on adult human cranial bone samples. Out of 23 identified articles, 7 met the criteria and were included in the quantitative analysis. Results: A moderate to strong positive correlation between the biological age of adults and the closure score of cranial sutures (coronal, sagittal, and lambdoid) both ectocranially and endocranially (r=0.58) with a 95% confidence interval [0.2928,0.7750]. Factors affecting accuracy include population variation, types of sutures evaluated, and scoring methods. Conclusion: This meta-analysis confirms that the cranial suture method has limited utility in forensic age estimation. Nevertheless, this technique can still provide additional information when used in conjunction with other skeletal and dental indicators. Standardization of methodology and further research are needed to improve the accuracy of cranial suture-based age estimation.

Abstract

Background: Forensic odontology is an invaluable resource for human identification. An individual’s bones and teeth may be the only remnants of their identity in certain situations where soft tissue has been lost, carbonized, or destroyed for any other reason. The body’s hardest and best-protected structures are found in teeth, and these have individual characteristics and are resistant to factors such as temperature and chemistry. When antemortem dental records are not available for comparison, dental profiling is performed. Purpose: This case study highlights the importance of teeth in the identification process and their usefulness in estimating biological profile factors such as sex, age, and population affinity. Case: The case of an unidentified woman who was found in a house in a severely decomposed, skeletonized state is presented. The unidentified body was sent to the Forensic Medicine Installation of Bhayangkara Level I Hospital to determine the cause of death and for dental identification. Case management: The body was suspected to be a victim of mutilation. Shovel shapes observed on the lingual surface of the lateral upper incisor and tori palatini are the most outstanding diagnostic features in Mongoloid populations. The specific mesiodistal crown width and mandibular canine index revealed female traits. Using the Lamendin method, the age was estimated to be 52–58 years old. Conclusion: A forensic odontologist can identify individuals by comparing antemortem and postmortem dental data. They can also provide age estimation, sex, and population affinity determination by analyzing teeth.
