ABSTRACT
States courts for identification purposes. In 1776, Paul Revere was said to have used a denture he made to identify a deceased friend and patient at the battle of Bunker Hill.4
The first recorded use of dentitions in body identifications associated with mass disasters was at the Vienna Opera House fire in 1849.4 Almost 100 years later, human bite mark evidence was allowed in court for the identification of a biting assailant (Doyle v. Texas, 1952).5
