Three-dimensional analysis of the uniqueness of the anterior dentition in orthodontically treated patients and twins

Forensic investigations on the uniqueness of the human dentition (UHD) increased considerably in the last few years [1–5]. Although the UHD is fundamental for forensic human dental identification and bite mark analysis, the increased prevalence of these investigations was mainly induced by the uncertainty surrounding the forensic bitemark practice [6–8]. It is estimated that more than 14 innocents were convicted or indicted based on misinterpreted bitemark evidences [8,9]. Accordingly, the American National Academy of Science included the unproven UHD amongst the most essential topics to be revisited scientifically [10].
