[Bite marks as evidence in violent incidents, rapes and murders. Report of 2 cases].

The main aim of this study is to emphasize the necessity of the bite marks used as evidence for violent incidents, rapes and murders. The first time that bite marks were used officially was in 1977. After a historical review has been made, the kinds of bite marks and the methods they were heated, are described. The authors also deal with two cases of violent incidents with bite marks found on the shoulder, blade and thigh, of one adult man. They also deal with a case of a violent incident with bite marks on the buttock, thigh, left arm and right elbow, of a 18-month old child. The bite marks were caused by the nurse-maid of the child who was trying to make it obedient, because the child disturbed her with its noisy behaviour.
