Forensics Odontology Kit

Reserve Today! Click "Reserve Today!" to select the kit you need to reserve.

Using their own bite marks on bite plates, students learn about tooth differentiation, how to distinguish an upper from a lower jaw, and how bite marks can be used as evidence in forensics. Teachers can follow Greg Panzanaro’s “I’ll Have a Bite” lab, or design their own activity.

Please let us know how many students/bite plates you will need, so we can send you appropriate amounts of materials. For the lab activity, each student needs 2 bite plates and 7 transparency plates. There are approximately 9 bite plates per meat tray, and 8 transparency plates per sheet.

The kit includes:

  • Transparency sheets
  • Rose meat trays

Teachers must supply:

  • Soapy water
  • Paper towels
  • Scotch tape
