Forensic Medical Characteristics Dislocations of Teeth

Abstract

In the study of dislocated teeth, it was found that the displacement of a dislocated tooth depends on the place of action of the active force. Thus, when exposed to an impact on the front surface of the tooth, the crown of the tooth moves back and the tip of the root moves forward. And a blow to the side surface of the tooth changes the direction of the crown in the direction of impact, and the root in the opposite direction. Dislocations of the incisors of the upper jaw occur most often, the roots of which are softer than those of other teeth. A fracture of the alveolar wall often occurs with dislocations of the teeth located on the lower jaw. Dislocations of chewing teeth require significant external force, the greater the number of teeth in the row.
