Abstract

The development, testing, and application of a simple method of photogrammetry are outlined. Two phases of development are described, the first leading to the production of a frontal facial photograph with superimposed contour lines at 2 mm. intervals and the second leading to a frontal view together with right and left profile views of the patient. The choice of method used will naturally depend upon the purpose for which the clinician wishes to have a photogrammetric record of his patient. The root mean square error of the method is 0.33 mm.

An unusual sequela to an inferior dental block injection.

This report describes an unusual case of blanching of the facial and palatal soft tissues following the administration of an inferior dental block injection. Possible anatomical explanations for the clinical observations are discussed.

Method for identifying putrefied corpses by facial casting.

The authors developed an original method for casting the face of putrefied corpses, which allowed a three-dimensional facial cast of an individual to be made. This method used several stages: face restoration by subcutaneous injections of specific materials, casting by elastomer, then three-dimensional positive image building. This technique enabled the person to be recognized and then identified, and seems to be useful in such difficult cases.

Evaluation of anatomical consistency in craniofacial superimposition images.

Using 52 skulls in forensic cases, the anatomical consistency of cranio-facial superimposition images was investigated for evaluating the validity in personal identification by the superimposition method. In 35 out of 52 cases the unknown skull was positively identified as the missing person by matching of the outline and anatomical relation in skull and face images taken from frontal, oblique and lateral directions. The unknown skull in two cases was exclusive of the presumed person since the outline of the skull was not anatomically consistent with that of the face. In the remaining 15 cases, the skull in question was examined using only a frontal face photograph of the missing person and matched with it because of the lack of other photographs taken from different angles, giving a probable identification. From our practical examination, it is stated that the outline from the trichion to the gnathion in the lateral or oblique view is the preferable portion for personal identification, and the cranio-facial super-imposition method is reliable for individualization when two or more facial photographs taken from different angles are used in the examination.
