Focusing on the role of periodontists in forensic identification, the book explores how periodontal records and salivary biomarkers can aid in identifying individuals, especially when other body fluids are unavailable. It emphasizes the potential for periodontists to contribute to forensic labs by developing oral microbial databanks tailored to specific populations and locations. Additionally, the text highlights the importance of studying systemic and dental diseases through salivary genomes, suggesting promising avenues for future research in forensic dentistry.
