Maples Center Bite Mark Workshop

Description

The William R. Maples Center for Forensic Medicine at the University of Florida in conjunction with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

The Maples Center Bite Mark Workshop focuses on the proper techniques
in forensic odontology; including selection and use of casting
materials, impression techniques, and the use of Adobe Photoshop for

human skin and animal hide. Methods will also be demonstrated for the
documentation of various tool marks and proper photographic techniques plus working with images in Adobe
