dc.description.abstractObjective: To retrospectively evaluate the forensic dental records of patients referred to our faculty and offer a standard dental record form. Material and Methods: All forensic odontology cases referred to the our faculty between 2011 and 2019 were evaluated. In addition to demographic findings such as age and gender, the reasons for referral (file types) and dental examination findings were recorded. Differences between the forensic file types according to years were obtained. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequency distributions. Results: Of 127 dental forensic files evaluated, 54% of the files were trauma, 33% were malpractice and 13% were determination of age. When referral reasons are examined according to gender, it was shown that the number of males was much higher than females in trauma cases while number of females is high in others file types. Analyzing the files according to years showed that the cases before the year 2011 were disorganized and forensic files in 2012-2014 were missing. The malpractice cases were increased while trauma cases were decreased over the years. Conclusion: Trauma cases were the most common reason for referral to forensic cases. However, it was observed that the forensic reports evaluated did not include parameters for the evaluation of injury crimes in terms of forensic medicine. Inadequate forensic dental records also prove the importance of archiving dental files in forensic cases. With the proposal of dental report form presented, it will be possible to standardize and improve the quality of the forensic records.en_US
