Abstract

Abstract: Motorcycle riders have a high prevalence of accident risks. These accidents can result in severe injuries and can even lead to death. The death prevalence among motorcyclists is three times higher than that of car passengers, six times higher than that of pedestrians, and almost 50 times higher than that of bus occupants. Traffic accidents can cause blunt trauma. High-speed crashes are common in polytraumatized motorcycle crashes and often display facial injuries. In this case report, the authors present a case of an accident with findings of facial trauma to the forehead, nose, cheeks, and multiple fractures of the maxilla and mandible due to a hard object impact. Dental examination revealed post-mortem tooth loss, fractures of the teeth, attrition, root remains, and visible impaction. In conclusion, craniofacial blunt trauma presents with many clinical features. The authors recommend that the finding of such cases be performed further examinations such as X-rays to gain an idea of the possible location of the fracture and to do an autopsy. Keywords: motorcycle accident; blunt trauma; maxillary fracture; mandibular fracture

Abstract

Abstract: Various methods for estimating post-mortem (PMI) have been investigated such as rigor mortis, livor mortis, molecular, chemical, and forensic entomology (insect) methods. However, these methods have weaknesses, therefore researchers are looking for more accurate methods in determining the time of death of a person. Molecular methods are unreliable due to the degradation of DNA, RNA, and proteins in corpses over time. In different parts of the body, the amount of diversity of microbes will be different. The oral cavity is the most abundant microbial area among other parts of the body due to its continuous exposure to the respiratory and digestive systems. This area has great potential in estimating time intervals of death because of its ease of access and the types of microbiomes that predominate at any given time. Therefore, this narrative review was conducted to describe studies that used oral microbiota communities to estimate post-mortem intervals. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes are the dominant microbial types found in corpses. Firmicutes became one of the dominant bacterial phyla in the early stages of decomposition. Actinobacteria were found to decrease as PMI increased. Studies have shown that the oral microbiome has excellent potential as a parameter to determine the post-mortem interval. However, further research is needed with more complex environmental conditions such as different humidity and temperature. In addition, further research requires more samples of human remains to obtain more valid results. Keywords: oral microbiome; post-mortem interval; human identification; forensic odontology

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

Identification of human remains is one of the most important stages in forensic science among the various methods commonly used in the process of identifying unknown human remains. Identification of remains is an issue in both criminal and civil cases. Determining the correct identity of the body is very important in the investigation as a mistake could have fatal consequences. Facial reconstruction is a method that is developing rapidly. The aim of this review is to acknowledge the importance of the nasolabial fold as one of the parameters required for identification using facial reconstruction methods. The depth of soft tissue is important in facial reconstruction. Aging of the face is associated with loss of soft tissue support in the nasolabial sulcus. The nasolabial sulcus is made up of both soft and hard tissue. The depth of the nasolabial sulcus can affect facial expression. 3D computerized facial reconstruction has been developed for a long time, but still requires continuous development using approaches to reconstruct the face. The nasolabial sulcus influences facial expression in facial reconstruction. Technological advances improve or facilitate the work of forensic odontologists, anthropologists, and dentists compared to traditional methods.

Abstract

Motorcycle riders have a high rate of death and severe injury. Traffic accidents can cause blunt trauma. In this case report, authors present cases of accidents with findings of facial trauma to the forehead, nose, cheeks, and multiple fractures of the maxilla and mandible due to a hard object impact. High-speed crashes are common in polytraumatized motorcycle crashes and often display facial injuries. If regarded from the biomechanics of trauma, there is a suspicion that the victim was wearing a helmet, with direct face trauma shown by minimal abrasions on the victim's face and more bruises instead. The woman was suspected of riding the motorcycle at high speed, with her face directly hitting a blunt object. DOI : 10.54052/jhds.v4n1.p25-34

Abstract

Peningkatan kualitas resin komposit dari segi estetika dapat mempersulit ahli odontologi forensik untuk mengidentifikasi jenazah. Komposisi resin komposit yang ada membuat restorasi gigi terlihat alami karena sifat translusensi, fluoresensi, opalesensi, dan adaptasi margin yang baik. Selain itu, pada bencana massal, identifikasi korban yang dilakukan di lokasi yang tidak memiliki akses air dan listrik, akan menghambat proses pemeriksaan visual, terutama karena adanya cairan pembusukan dan darah pada rongga mulut mayat dan adanya kondisi rigor mortis (kesulitan membuka mulut jenazah). Review ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis metode yang dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi restorasi resin komposit pada jenazah manusia dan implikasinya dalam odontologi forensik. Ada berbagai teknik untuk mengidentifikasi restorasi komposit dalam pemeriksaan forensik. Perbandingan radiografi gigi ante-mortem dan post-mortem adalah teknik yang paling umum digunakan untuk membedakan tambalan resin komposit dari struktur gigi asli (email dan dentin), tetapi tidak dianjurkan untuk mendeteksi restorasi kecil. Namun, fluorescence-aided identification technique (FIT) menunjukkan akurasi yang lebih tinggi dalam hal ini karena perbedaan intensitas fluoresensi antara restorasi dan struktur gigi. Metode optik lainnya seperti FOTI (fiber optic trans-illumination) dan DiFOTI (digital fiber optic trans-ilumination) dianggap sebagai alternatif tetapi FIT (fluorescence-aided identification technique) tetap lebih unggul dibandingkan teknik ini. Teknik pewarnaan juga menjadi pilihan untuk identifikasi tambalan komposit jika fluoresensi tidak dapat dibedakan. Investigasi lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk menemukan teknik terbaik atau kombinasi teknik untuk menghindari kesalahan dokumentasi dalam pemeriksaan gigi forensik.
