Resumo

Introdução: O atual criticismo contra a análise de marcas de mordida tem subestimado um dos campos de maiores atuações do dentista forense. O motivo do criticismo tem um alto grau de severidade. Muitos inocentes foram erroneamente acusados e encarcerados devido análises de marcas de mordidas falhas e fracamente sustentadas pela ciência. Objetivo: Analisar criticamente questões importantes relacionadas à análise de marcas de mordidas e apresentar soluções. Conclusão: A análise de marcas de mordida não deve ser banida da Odontologia Forense, mas seu uso exige precaução. As metodologias de análises fortemente calcadas em ciência devem ser as únicas aceitas no futuro.
