Forensic odontology, the application of dental knowledge to legal matters, plays a crucial role in solving crimes and identifying individuals. Among the various aspects of forensic odontology, bite mark analysis stands out as a unique and challenging field. This article explores the significance of bite marks in forensic investigations from a dental perspective, examining the methods used in bite mark analysis, the challenges faced by forensic odontologists and the importance of dental evidence in the criminal justice system. Dental evidence, including bite mark analysis, has proven instrumental in solving crimes and securing convictions. The uniqueness of dental features allows forensic odontologists to establish individualized matches, linking suspects to crime scenes. This evidence can be particularly valuable in cases where other forms of evidence may be scarce or inconclusive.

Medical jurisprudence, the branch of law that intersects with medicine and healthcare, plays a pivotal role in shaping healthcare policy and legislation. This article explores the profound impact of medical jurisprudence on the development, implementation and evolution of healthcare policies and laws. By examining key legal principles, landmark cases and the dynamic relationship between medicine and the law, we gain insight into how medical jurisprudence has become an indispensable factor in the formulation of healthcare regulations. The convergence of these disciplines has significant implications for patient rights, medical ethics and the overall quality of healthcare delivery.

The field of medicine is undergoing a transformative shift towards personalized treatment strategies, with a focus on tailoring drug therapies to individual genetic variability. This paradigm shift, known as precision medicine, recognizes that genetic differences among individuals can significantly influence drug response and susceptibility to adverse reactions. This article explores the current state of personalizing drug therapy based on genetic variability, highlighting the potential benefits, challenges and future directions of this innovative approach.

Craniofacial superimposition in its classic form requires a skull and a photograph of the suspected individual. This image of the person could be taken from a variety of sources and mediums, which are of differing quality and resolution. This can be problematic in cases where the quality of the images is so poor as to obstruct the accurate identification of the cephalometric landmarks. A solution to this problem could lie in the emerging new developments in the field of artificial intelligence and deep learning. Different software applications using these technologies were developed with the aim of image enhancement and resolution upscaling that show promising results. The aim of this study is to establish the strengths and weakness of the afore mentioned technology, by comparing images that have been upscaled using the traditional algorithms to those with AI upscaling. For the experiment, a human skull was photographed since it has a lot of fine detail that can be easily obscured by a photo with bad quality. The photo was then processed which resulted with 10 images, that were compared both visually and with a special software. The visual comparison shows that the Ai upscaled images appear sharper and with a finer detail than the traditionally upscaled ones. However, the data gained from the comparison software showed that the AI upscaled images contained more errors than the traditionally upscaled ones.
