Forensic odontology nowadays has become a developing science and is of great importance to society. It is important that dental practitioners should have a proper knowledge of forensics as the need has increased greatly over the last decades due to the unprecedented demand from the criminal justice including terrorism in Kashmir valley (J&K India).
Data was collected based on questionnaire survey among qualified dental practitioners related to their awareness of forensic odontology.
A total number of 235 dental practitioners responded to the questionnaire. RESULTS showed that there was a low confidence, in handling of forensic odontology related cases among dental practitioners and majority of dental practitioners were not having any formal training in forensic odontology.
Each dental practitioner has a responsibility to understand the forensic implications associated with the practice of his profession and thus he should work sincerely enough so to ensure his contribution in the field of forensic odontology.
如今,法医牙科学已成为一门不断发展的学科,对社会具有重要意义。由于包括克什米尔山谷(印度查谟和克什米尔)恐怖主义在内的刑事司法领域前所未有的需求,在过去几十年里,牙科从业者掌握适当的法医知识变得愈发重要。
通过对合格牙科从业者进行问卷调查,收集有关他们对法医牙科学认识的数据。
共有235名牙科从业者回复了问卷。结果显示,牙科从业者在处理法医牙科学相关案件时信心不足,且大多数牙科从业者未接受过法医牙科学的正规培训。
每位牙科从业者都有责任了解与其职业实践相关的法医意义,因此他应足够真诚地工作,以确保自己在法医牙科学领域做出贡献。
