TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Bite-mark and pattern injury analysis: a brief status overview JO - Journal of the California Dental Association A1 - Golden, Gregory S. SP - 309 EP - 314 VL - 43 IS - 6 N2 - Bite marks are one component of forensic investigation requiring subjective interpretation for determining unknown source evidence to a putative suspect.
