ABSTRACT
The detection, observation, collection, and analysis of bitemarks have been thoroughly described in the previous chapters. Guidelines exist for both the novice and expert to ensure that protocols are followed and that a uniformity of approach is achieved [1,2]. However, the analysis of bitemarks following evidence collection is the sole responsibility of the odontologist. An analysis technique that is accurate is selected, and it is applied, using prior knowledge, to current material [3,4]. The results form the basis of the conclusions contained within the written report.
