A lot of scientific knowledge is generated in this field, but recommendationson how to translate this knowledge into real world for the benefit of stake holders are lacking. This articlepresents some of the key areas where forensic odontology can be of significant help, highlighting the presentscenario and hurdles associated with them along with recommendations for better utilization of forensicodontology services. A special act for the regulation of activities of a forensic odontologist would expeditethe mainstreaming of forensic odontology.
