The forensic dentistry is commonly required to identify tooth marks from a crime scene. The methodology is unique according to the guidelines of American Board of Forensic Sciences (ABFO) and International Organization of Forensic OdontoStomatology (IOFOS), using proper techniques for collection and preservation of evidence for the last stage comparison with suspects. This forensic case applies those guidelines to collect two set of tooth marks present on two pieces of cheese found at a crime scene. The dental impression and model materials are very important to preserving the physical evidence present on inanimate materials such as cheese to later on compare with the teeth of a suspected and make a conclusion.
