The role of a dentist is not only to examine and treat the oral diseases but also to assist the legal authorities by means of its branch-forensic odontology. Through forensic odontology, a dentist plays a very important role in crime investigation of any type.
To analyze the knowledge, awareness, and interest of forensic odontology among the dental teaching staff who are working in the dental colleges within the Delhi NCR.
A questionnaire of 12 questions (both open-ended and close-ended) was prepared and the survey was conducted with 200 dental teaching staff.
A sufficient knowledge but poor awareness and interest among the dental teaching staff was observed.
The study highlighted that although dental teaching staff themselves have sound knowledge regarding forensic odontology, their awareness and interest need to be upgraded on a regular basis. The success of acquiring such extensive knowledge would be valid if better job opportunities in these fields would be increased.
牙医的职责不仅是检查和治疗口腔疾病,还需通过其分支——法医牙科学协助法律当局。通过法医牙科学,牙医在任何类型的犯罪调查中都发挥着非常重要的作用。
分析在德里国家首都辖区内牙科学院工作的牙科教师对法医牙科学的知识、认识和兴趣。
编制了一份包含12个问题(开放式和封闭式)的问卷,并对200名牙科教师进行了调查。
观察到牙科教师有足够的知识,但认识和兴趣不足。
该研究强调,尽管牙科教师自身对法医牙科学有扎实的知识,但他们的认识和兴趣需要定期提升。如果这些领域能增加更好的工作机会,获取如此广泛知识的成效将会更显著。
