Reviews
I would like to complement the authors for the breadth and depth of material included. The editor deserves special recognition for his efforts in making this book happen. -Journal of Forensic Sciences This book is the first comprehensive text published on the topic of bitemarks and is a must for both the beginning odontologist and the experienced practitioner. It also provides information to others with an interest in bitemark evidence. I would like to complement the authors for the breadth and depth of material included. The editor deserves special recognition for his efforts in making this book happen. -Dr Homer R. Campbell, Past-President of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences Past-President of the American Board of Forensic Odontology Journal of Forensic Sciences, July 2005 Dr. Dorion has performed an invaluable service in presenting the most up-to-date techniques of bitemark analysis in an intelligent and easily referenced manner. He has wisely chosen his contributors whose aggregate knowledge and experience represent the very backbone of this field. Arthur D. Goldman, D.M.D., F.A.G.D., D.A.B.F.O., Past President of the American Board of Odontology and the American Academy of Forensic Sciences This is one of the best texts on current bitemark science. It is well written with many fine color photos and illustrations. The clinical cases/reports are candid and parctical. --The Journal of the American Association of Forensic Dentists
