Paper Details

Forensic Odontology is one of the fast developing and most important Subject in Forensic Science with thenumerous researches has been done in the area of Dentistry. The specific aspect of identification of individual throughdentition finds less number of research works. Application of dentistry for the purpose of identification through ageestimation and sexdetermination has been done a plenty. While establishing the identification through secondarycharacteristics, there are hardly any studies available using non-invasive methods. An attempt has been in this study toestablish the correlation between geographical influences with the concentration of dental minerals. It is also to establish theinfluence of exposure of various chemicals due to occupation with the quantitative presence in the dental calculus. A total of135 subjects have been studied for the examination of elemental components with their quantity in the dental calculus.Significant results were obtained for the association of chronic exposure with the accumulation of minerals in the dentalcalculus. This can be contemplated as Geographical & Occupational Marker for any individual with the Qualitative andQuantitative Analysis of elements those are present in the dental calculus by EDXRF method (Energy Dispersive X-RayFluorescence Spectroscopy)
