The oldest register of forensic dentistry was made in Paris in 1898 by Cuban dentist Oscar Amoedo, who associated forensic dentistry with medicine. In 1924, Professor Luis Lustosa Silva published the book Odontologia Legal, which gave rise to the term Legal Dentistry.

In its early days, forensic dentistry was characterized primarily by the fact that it allowed the search for identity in the forensic field. Gradually, new techniques were introduced and added to the list of activities in this field. Extrapolating the barriers of empiricism, this “dentistry” went through difficult paths until it was accepted and recognized as a science. While forensic dentistry has been consolidated as a technique and science, the judiciary has been equipped with specialized tools to resolve cases with significant social implications. Although this science was accepted before justice and society, it would develop little outside academic boundaries. While it is still necessary to place it in this context, forensic dentistry has been considered an important component of higher education in Brazil. It was in the 1930s that this science legally integrated the training of dentists, and it is part of it to this day. From that moment on, this science spread, since it was one of the mandatory disciplinary measures required in the national territory. Unlike other areas of dentistry, forensic dentistry was recognized as a specialty in bachelor`s degree courses for about 40 years after its origin. There are now 677 registered dentists in this field. Its emergence and contribution as a discipline and specialty has allowed exponential development through teaching, research and expansion as well as continuing education. By compiling scientific and non-scientific literary information, this book saved an important historical piece of forensic dentistry and contributed to the enrichment of the national dental literature.
During examinations, in the bodies of the divers, samples of Ted Bundy`s sucking, blood and fingerprints were found, despite the evidence, these samples were not sufficient to incriminate him, when he found two bite marks on one of the breasts and bumps of one of the different Lisa Levy in 1979 by©the report of forensic dentist Dr. Lowell J. Levine. Forensic dentistry is© the specialization of dentistry, which invariably applies knowledge of anatomy, radiology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry to study the physical, psychological, quantum and biological processes that affect humans, living, dead or skeletonized, in fragments or remains, of partial or complete reverse or irreversible lesions, in addition to the analysis©of human bite marks and animal bite.
