  • Title: Lingual markings of anterior teeth as seen in human bite marks.
    Author: Sperber ND.
    Journal: J Forensic Sci; 1990 Jul; 35(4):838-44. PubMed ID: 2131792.
    Abstract:
    A review of the available literature does not reveal a plausible explanation as to why the incisal edges of maxillary anterior teeth do not always mark clearly. Generally, the mandibular incisal edges do mark with some consistency. This paper demonstrates through test bites on skin that the answer lies in the position of the mandible.
