From clinic to courtroom: the power of forensic dentistry . #dental #dentist #dentistry #republicday | BDS (Battis Daanto ki Seva) ;-)

In 1849, the prominent and highly respected Boston Brahmin, George Parkman was murdered in the laboratories of the Harvard Medical School. The gruesome scene, found by a suspicious janitor, left the identity of the victim unknown until dental records were used to identify the remains. The trial would mark the first time that forensic dentistry was used to identify a victim of a murder in the United States. | Mount Auburn Cemetery
