Forensic dentistry has experienced considerable modification owing to new technologies, modifying identification, and analytical procedures. This literature review examines how modern technology advancements, such as artificial intelligence, three-dimensional imaging technologies, and digital forensic methodologies, substantially improve the precision, efficacy, and complexity of forensic dentistry. AI algorithms are instrumental in the automated analysis of dental records, the identification of bite marks, and the estimation of age, effectively minimizing human error and expediting the identification process. The utilization of three-dimensional imaging technology improves the detailed visualization and reconstruction of dental anatomy, facilitating more accurate comparisons and analysis. Digital forensic approaches, encompassing electronic medical records and databases, have significantly enhanced the organization and retrieval of dental information, which is essential for cross-referencing in criminal investigations and identifying disaster victims (DVI). Even with its many positive aspects, the incorporation of these technologies has ethics and practical issues, including worries about data security, the demand for consistent protocols, and the necessity for forensic dentists to learn new technical abilities. This review highlights the transformational impact of new technology on forensic odontology while addressing essential ethical considerations for their adoption. The examination shows the value of ongoing enhancements and collaboration between departments to augment the efficacy of forensic investigations.
