A short account of forensic odontology in France

Xavier Riaud

Abstract :

From the Roman Empire till 19th Century, the dental surgeon was a legal consultant. His only role was to give some informations. From 1897 till 1974, the dental surgeon sometimes participated to some assessments. But, he was not often summoned by the magistrates. From 1974 till 1989, the stomatologists were summoned more than dental surgeons by the magistrates. From 1989 till nowadays, the dental surgeons worked inside Forensic teams. Now, after each disaster or each crime, the dental surgeon is always there. What about the first case of Forensic dentistry in France? What about the practitioners? What about the real beginning of Forensic dentistry in France and what about now the role of each dentist facing a disaster or a crime ?
