Overview

The website is a dynamic digital hub for forensic odontologists, toxicologists, dentists, researchers, and students.

Born from academic research, this platform explores the use of dental hard tissues as reliable indicators of drug, chemical, and elemental exposure in forensic investigations. It combines scientific insight with innovative web-based tools to visualise and understand how substances leave lasting traces in teeth — making it both a learning resource and a forensic reference.
